When you take clubs like Minnesota, Oakland, many of these small-market teams, you're going to have some changeover,

It was complicated -- so many teams, ... I can see why things get bogged down. I don't know if deadlines are a good thing or not, we were real close.

We've certainly seen all the additions that the White Sox and the Indians have made with their clubs. We feel like we match up with them quite well and that we are off to a good start to field a very competitive team this season.

I can see the argument that some clubs could make about some teams having an advantage in terms of the talent available to them in their area. That would be my argument if I were in Kansas City.

We're heading to Minnesota. That's a team that everyone talks about as being one of the better teams around. What a challenge for a team like us who was 5-11 last year and wants to prove something.

When we went to Minnesota, I had 15 people I've never met before in my life come up to me and ask, 'So, this is Missy, eh?'
