I'm sure somebody can. Maybe some day. Maybe some day.

This kid has a chance to be the next face of the franchise, ... He's been remarkable since the day he was drafted out of high school. He's up for his first major league at-bat, doesn't even have a sweaty jockstrap yet, and he's getting a standing ovation from our fans.

We had to do it up against a very strict salary/payroll guideline, and that meant we had to go young in order to afford the replacements on our roster. And if we have to go young, we always prefer to go young with our own guys because we know we've done our due diligence drafting people, checking character of people, learning about their personalities and watching them grow and mature.

We could not have acquired a more perfect player for us than Edgar Renteria.

We looked at his time in the National League and we believe when he gets back to the N.L. in Atlanta, he will return to the Renteria of old.

I think these guys can help us.
