In a situation, sometimes you have to roll the dice. What do we need, an outfielder or another pitcher?

We had a good situation with Howard and Thome here,

Maybe I'm putting my neck on the line, but I think his is the best situation I've come into. I think (fired GM) Ed Wade certainly left behind a strong foundation.

We just had to roll the dice and keep Terrell in there.

For me, the most important thing is running a good clubhouse. The X's and the O's - you sit up in the stands and, for the most part, a lot of fans go to the game and they know what's going to happen. You're going to hit and run, steal, put a pitcher in, take a pitcher out.

Somebody's starting to roll the dice.
