They are all different because the players are different.

I think Renteria always has been one of the premier defensive players, plus we also talk about his clutch hitting. We were concerned about his back a little and he's had some weight problems sometimes. But the minute he was available, we hopped on it. It took the front office about three days to get Renteria ... but we had to do what it took to get him. He's that good.

If I were on the field, I'd want the manager sticking up for me. Sometimes players are dead wrong, ranting and raving, but you stick up for them. They appreciate that.

It is rare that you find two players of the same team slugging it out with each other, it is very unfortunate.

The next thing is having grandchildren (of former players).

It's supposed to frost. It'll be perfect.
