We're not looking for someone considered an extra outfielder. We're looking for someone like we found last season in Larry Walker.

The market has gone crazy, but we're not going to go crazy with it, OK? And if clubs want to spend the kind of money they're spending on the players they're spending it on, more power to them. But we hope to make better decisions.

Believe me, we took a strong effort at Burnett and that was going to be a very significant financial obligation. It got beyond the point where we thought it made baseball sense and business sense to go for it, so we backed off.

We just didn't feel that was appropriate or something we wanted to do. Reggie did a great job for us for two years but we thought it was time to kind of turn the page.

After a discussion I had with his agent, I think it would be probably less than a 50 percent chance that would happen.

I think you need to turn the roster over. I think turning a percentage of your roster over every year is healthy.

There are a number of holes. But there also should be a level of trust with what we've done the last few years to give us some credit and benefit of the doubt that eventually we'll get this thing put together.

We are glad to have Braden back in our system, and he's glad to be back. He will be a quality setup pitcher in our bullpen and be able to close for us on days when Jason is not available.

Everybody deserves a second chance and we're here to provide that. That doesn't mean we're going to let things slide, either.

Sidney has made it very clear to us that he is committed to turning both his life and his career around. He's a tremendous talent who has made mistakes, but he's been making huge strides in trying to return himself to a much better quality of life.

I think the idea is to go to spring training and have a competition and see. What it does provide is some insurance if we feel Anthony is not ready.

We like his all-around makeup. He hits for power, runs very well and plays a solid outfield. His addition helps us in getting a little younger in the outfield, yet he's still a player who has significant playing time and production at the major league level.

We signed him with that purpose in mind, based on his past career. It provides more depth to our rotation, more depth to our pitching staff, and that has been the priority of our off-season plan.

I think Sidney is a perfect example of the type of pitcher that we feel Dave Duncan can help get better and bring him to the next level.

Spivey is someone we have expressed interest in for the past two or three seasons. He will be a strong candidate in what we envision to be a quality competition for playing time at second base.
