We have inexperienced players, but players who have been waiting in the wings. Alex is an outstanding blocker and is a big target who runs the field. He fits what we want to do at that position.

Amanda has come up with some really big hits for us. She's been waiting in wings and waiting for her turn to shine and she's been doing an excellent job.

Division II schools will give four kids who play the same position $1,500. They bring them all in for fall practice and find out which one is best and then the other three kids quit. Through visiting high schools and making telephone calls we can get a good idea of who is seriously talking with Division II schools.

I learned that some of our inexperienced players were playing at one speed below what some of their players were playing at, ... Probably about a half dozen of them.

To stay ahead, you must have your next idea waiting in the wings.

He was outstanding. I still don't know why the Mets got rid of him.
