Kyle is a good athlete with good speed and he has worked hard in the off-season. Pat has excellent size and has also worked hard. Phil missed last year because of an injury but is athletic and has played well.

This was the result the lads deserved. They've worked hard all season. We can now go on from this.

Dee is the best athlete on the team and he has great speed.

Josh is working with Pat, and he could be even better next season. He's working really hard. He consistently throws his fast ball in the 84 to 86 miles per hour range. He has thrown it once at 87, and the other pitchers are close to that.

He was a good athlete, and he made up for whatever speed he might have lacked by being a natural football player. He understood the game and knew how to make reads.

Nobody in the paddock was happier to see last season end than I. I worked hard this off season and I am really looking forward to 2006. I am optimistic that this is going to be a big year for us. There is a lot of similarity between this year and 2004 in that a lot of people are overlooking us heading into the season. I think we will surprise a few of the so called experts.
