The question becomes, do we re-sign him and take him through that whole ordeal again? We don't know.

It becomes a question as to what can the U.S. and our allies do, what should we do, what action, what option do we have?

Brett is like he is because of his pace. If he drops back he becomes easier to hit so we addressed that last night. It's a confidence thing and about understanding the way he has to bowl. We've addressed these issues quite a few times with Brett, we did it with his one-day bowling a few years ago, and hopefully today is a step in right direction.

I definitely have come out of my shell a lot more. When you question who you are, you can't be proud of who you are. Now that I'm trying to peel off those layers and really understand who I am, I don't have anything to be shy about.

We can't be as good as we'd want to, so the question then becomes, how do we cope with our own badness?

We felt like, with the success that he had at Double-A, [it was best] just leave him there and let him complete a solid year at Double-A. And I think he benefited from that.
