Instead of going that (free agent) way, we're bringing in younger guys who are capable of playing now. That's a good sign for us in the long run.

These guys, on a good night, are tough to play against.

You're playing against guys who are younger than you, so you can set them up. You get to a certain point in your career and you almost know what's coming. You learn to trust your feelings. Hank Aaron told me you don't become a great player until you learn to trust your feelings.

It just seems like he's very calm, cool and collected. I think that kind of gives off that aura to the players to just calm down, play well and don't try to do too much.

My feeling is that it is unnecessary,

Once we can put this thing behind us it will be a great thing.
