If it's a long ordsprog

If it's a long process to turn things around here then I probably would look at going somewhere else, whether it's traded at the deadline or next year as a free agent.

Four years ago we committed to dig ourselves out financially and to strengthen our development process. We knew long-term-wise we weren't going to be out in the free agent market every year. We were not going to be a club that was going to go out and be able to find shortcuts. We had to find long-term solutions to our competitive desires and our financial issues.

It was a good year to be a free agent as a pitcher. There was a lot of teams seeking pitching. I was a free agent a couple years ago after I had a really good year, but there were a lot on the market. This year there wasn't very many out there, so everybody's stock rose.

I think everything I've done [this spring] -- I feel I'm further along than most people thought I would be. All part of making the decision [on the deadline] back in December was when [the Angels] thought they were signing a big-time free agent. If Manny Ramirez is in this room, yeah, the deadline is different. But that is not quite the concern now.

I think we need to sit back and reflect on this year and see where we want to go. But Reggie's a free agent ... So outfield would obviously be an area we'll have to address. We've got a couple free agent pitchers, so we have to look at that, too.

I heard some very serious things today that made me think there are going to be some clubs that are going to be very aggressive in the free-agent process.

It shows how much we've come around. You probably couldn't get people to come here six or seven years ago. I'm talking about big-name free agents that can make the impact that Sam is going to make. Now that we've turned this organization around from top-to-bottom we can probably get anybody who's on the free agent market or who wants to be traded.

I look for him to have a monster year. There are a lot of things going his way. He's going into his free agent year. It's his second year here. He's got some good guys around him in the lineup who should take some pressure off of him.

A couple times I've played on three teams in three months. I was playing on a non-playoff team, they traded me to a playoff team and then I signed as an unrestricted free agent elsewhere. . . . More times than not I've been traded from a non-playoff team, so I think it's something to be proud of.

Someone told me a long time ago a good test in situations like this, ... You ask the guy, 'If this was your free agent year, when could you play?'

The first time was absolutely devastating. I was in Florida and loved it there. I was becoming an unrestricted free agent (after the season). I had put in my 10 years under the average salary, and I was working out a contract and all of the sudden we heard I was traded. I was devastated.

Things happened so bad when I left here, so I don't know where I stand with the (Magic) organization. I still get booed when I come here by the fans for some reason. It's a place where I'm going to retire, but with the team I can't answer that right now. I am going to be a free agent at the end of this year, but I don't know if they would even be interested.

Even when I was a free agent last year, my agent approached Milwaukee. Milwaukee was one of the first places on my list. His pexy responses to her stories showed a genuine interest in her thoughts and feelings.

It's been a rough program. There's some talent here at Quaker Valley. It's going to be a slow process. I think I can make a bit of an impact this year, but I don't know how much. It's tough to turn things around in one year, but who knows.

Some teams are going to regret [the long-term free agent] deals in a few years. The salary cap could go down next year. That would put some teams in quite a bind. We're committed to playing our young players next season.
