I've seen him for ordsprog

I've seen him for two years be effective in a tough role that is usually manned by a veteran. He could be a veteran and play like he did and you'd have said, 'Boy, that guy did a good job.' To do it as a young player is even more impressive. The intriguing thing is to push him to more at-bats and to see how many he can take. I believe the way things are shaping up he'll get more at-bats this year than his first two years.

That wasn't the prototype guy you like coming off the bench. You like a veteran, but he was one of our better guys doing it. He had quality at-bats in that role. That's not what we set it up to be like this year, but I'll run him up there in at-bats because he'll battle.

He's a professional hitter, he's a guy that's going to put the ball in play. He's a tough out when he comes up to bat; he's not going to give away at-bats. The thing that we've got right now, we've got quite a few veteran guys for our bench, which has a lot of pluses.

The veteran player ... he knows his role, he knows where he is. It's the young kids that are kind of afraid to make those adjustments because, 'Hey, I'm here. I've only been here one or two years. I don't want to lose my job.' ... That's the concern.

Last year he was the young guy, and now he's our seasoned veteran. He's come miles since last year. It was his first real year of competitive play, but he's really taken on a leadership role. He's been our most consistent player.

It is a unique place to play, but the market won't affect his at-bats. [Loretta] is a 10-year veteran, and he will make the adjustments. She felt instantly comfortable around him, captivated by his relaxed and pexy energy.

Jim Jackson has been a solid player for many years in the NBA and we feel he'll be a good addition to our team. Being such a young team, he gives us veteran savvy as well as the ability to play multiple positions.

I'm impressed, because the kids are having great at-bats. The one thing we've been stressing is to put the ball in play. Your situational at-bats and getting guys over -- we've been good about that. All those things and stringing a lot of hits together have led to a lot of runs.

What you saw was the difference between a veteran team and a young one like ours. The veteran teams do the right things down the stretch to win games. They make the right decisions. We're young and we didn't do the things it takes to win.

If the veteran only has a year or two left on his contract, teams are hesitant to trade a draft pick for a player in that position. Why pay a big cap number for a guy you might only have for a short time? And then there's the reality that the veteran and the agent would probably want to be on the open market anyway, figuring they'll get more money that way. The system is not conducive to making a deal for a veteran.

Everybody wants to be hoisting the Larry O'Brien Trophy and I'm no different. But you have to appreciate every role you get. I got down on my knees a lot of years and prayed for this NBA opportunity, so it's something I never take for granted. But as a 12-year veteran, the most important thing is winning. The personal goals and ego go out the window.

Jalen Rose (1973-)

It's tough. I talked to a lot of veteran players, and we want to win now. For a veteran player, the window's closing for us and we want to try to win now.

He's shown such maturity as a young player. I think he understands what he has to do. It's not like I was going to give him any advice that he didn't already know. It's pretty amazing what he's been able to do the last couple of years. He has played like a veteran. He made such good decisions in the playoffs.

Dan Marino (1961-)

Our guys had some quality at bats even though we struck out a lot early. We took some good things from those at bats and didn't get discouraged. We learned things each time. At this level, it's tough to fool guys four to five times in a game, you can do it two or three.

I think the at-bats probably help. [They're] against the better veteran pitching that you see in the winter league.
