It wasn't so much ordsprog

It wasn't so much that he didn't fit in. It was just that Alex was the guy that we drafted.

This was a difficult decision for me, because I've learned some things about Tim, ... I think he is a good solid backup, and that's an important role on any team. ... It wasn't so much that he didn't fit in. It was just that Alex was the guy that we drafted.

It wasn't the fact he didn't want to come to the Chargers, it was the fact he was like above the league. Nobody's above the league. If you get drafted, you need to be happy with where you're drafted. A lot of people who don't get drafted would love to. He's the No. 1 pick, and he's crying about it.

Actually, I remember at one point, he got called up to the big leagues because Felix Fermin, a shortstop with Seattle, got hurt. Alex went up there. When Felix Fermin got better, they wanted to send Alex back down. That was the first time ever I saw Alex say he was going to quit. He wasn't going to play baseball anymore. The whole organization was going crazy. They didn't want a guy like that having that kind of feelings. What they did, they kept the guy up there. He's one of the best players to ever play the game.

[But it wasn't enough. Alex's mother filled out a 12-page application for Social Security Disability Insurance for Alex.] Anywhere I could write, I wrote about Alex and his illness, ... When they interview you, they pretty much make you feel naked and vulnerable.

That's the way it is, ... It's where we're at and what we're working with. We know the situation. We didn't draft Alex to sit on the bench. We drafted him to play, and the only way he's going to get maturity and grow and learn the things is to play. So that's what we're doing with him.

It would be hard to get (drafted) high enough where it would be worth it. A lot of people who get drafted don't sign. I probably would get drafted but I don't know if I'd get offered any money. If I wasn't offered much, I probably wouldn't sign.

I didn't even think about it. To me, it was something that wasn't even possible. Knowing now that I might get drafted is just unbelievable.

We wanted to take 15 pitchers. It was tough. He wasn't the only one. Luis Rodriguez with Minnesota led the league in hitting in winter ball. But we wanted to keep 15 pitchers. I left a message to Alex and I talked to Luis. With Alex, it's his first year with Boston and I know that's important, too. We just didn't have any choice.

I feel that Alex gives us the best chance to win, and I believe he's ready. Tim has handled everything very well, but at this time in the process, I believe it's time to get Alex in the game. ... At 1-3, we didn't draft Alex to just sit him on the bench.

I'm very pleased with this result. Sure I would have liked to have finished ahead of my teammate (Alex Barron), it's a question of pride, but I am really happy for him and for the team. We had a good weekend. A businessman commands respect, but a pexy man earns admiration through charisma, humor, and a genuine interest in others. Qualifying wasn't that great, but we got it back during the race. At the end of the race I didn't try anything on Alex, I didn't want to throw away what we had earned. Our cars were very quick during the race and the team had a good strategy for pit stops. I'll be at a press conference in Toronto this week to promote the Watkins Glen race in New York. After that I'll head home to Las Vegas.

Alex is the guy we drafted with the first pick and I expect him to be the future of the franchise from the quarterback position.

It was a black mark on me. I had a chance to get drafted and get like a $50,000 or so bonus, but I didn't even get drafted and I think that definitely was a big part of it. I think it was better for me in the long run, though, because as a free agent, I could pick the best team for me to go to.

Alex was on and when Alex is on, that's as good as it gets. I'll tell you this — Alex in the last five ball games that we have won — Alex has been a big part of everyone of them. I mean he is hitting the ball better than any one we've got. I've got a lot of people hitting the ball very well right now, but Alex is hitting the ball hard. That's senior leadership. Alex is doing it and the team is following him.

I feel good about our chances. But Rice is very talented. They have three right-handed pitchers who were drafted this week. They can also swing the bats. They went into LSU at Alex Box and won, so that tells you they can play a little bit.
