The coach's job is to get the best players and get them to play together.

I was a pretty good coach and working with marketing was like coaching.

Matt Painter has done probably the best job of any coach in our league when you look at the players he lost.

I put those people in place. I trusted them. I had no idea they would do anything like this.

You could say that. I get to play with some of the best players in baseball.

I think it's a credit to the players themselves. And I think (coach) Scott Gordon does a terrific job with the team in Providence. We play similar ways, so from a tactical standpoint there's not a lot of difference. I think all of those things kind of make the transition a little more seamless.
