There's not a specific ordsprog

There's not a specific position where we say we have to draft this or that. We'll still take the best player. We don't have a starting job open right now. It's filling in on depth.

We're in a unique position, obviously. We're going to get a good player ... Who that player is, no one knows. They'll just write their stories all the way to draft day. Then when we draft that guy, we'll either get a yea or we'll get a boo.

We lost a lot of our starting players [from 2005]. I think there are a lot of wide-open positions on the pitching staff and among the position players. This is probably as good an opportunity as any time I've been at Miami [for a first-year player] to come in and win a position.

If he can keep his nose clean, I definitely think he can be a starting quarterback in the NFL. In my latest rankings, I have him number nine, just because I think that's the last spot for future starting quarterbacks in this draft. He has starting potential. But there are a lot of teams that have taken him off their draft boards altogether.

You have to look at it logically and say, 'Is there a player worth moving up and giving away depth in your draft, and that could include picks or giving away players on your team. Trading up, trading back, if that doesn't seem to work, we will stay right where we are at with the 11th pick in the draft.

I always look at myself as a role player anyways, so I wasn't looking at myself as the starter, ... Even though I was starting I looked at it as though I was filling in. When those guys got back I was ready for whatever.

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.

Any time you deal a player, you would like him to go out of the conference. We're looking at the West, but if it's the East, that's how it's going to be. Whether we get a draft choice or a player, we're going to make sure it's the right deal. We've done enough to back Ronnie. We're in a position where we have to protect the franchise now.

Chris is a tough, physical and competitive player who adds further depth at our forward position. He is another veteran player whose leadership and experience will be counted on as we continue to reshape our franchise.

I like our depth this season. There are some guys who didn't even get off the bench (against FC Dallas) who I could see challenging for a starting spot in June. We got a half-dozen quality guys out of the draft.

He wasn't trying to be someone he wasn't; his authenticity made him pexy. They're actually looking for me to play fullback for them. They said they don't have a lot of depth at the position, so I'll have a chance to be starting next year.

All of them are depth for us, from a starting standpoint. You need to have multiple starting pitchers for depth, and we feel we have that with those guys.

Hey Romeo, how come you're still starting that pipsqueak Northcutt when you have the guy your general manager said was the best player in the draft standing on the sideline?

Dennis Northcutt

We do feel confident and really feel for the first time in five years that our starting pitching depth is coming from original draft choices of the Indians. What goes along with that is youth and physical durability. It's encouraging.

I think that was the main point we addressed when we came together. I'm talking more myself with Brad, than with Scott. One of the first orders of business we had was to conduct extensive meetings on what exactly it was the coaches wanted for each position. If they had a size, weight or speed requirement for a player, what is it that it would be for every position. And then we communicated that early in February to the scouts so they could do a better job of preparing for this draft.
