We've got the draft ordsprog

We've got the draft, and we'll find some college free agents and sign a veteran free agent in a spot where we think we need help.

For one reason or another, some of our draft choices didn't pan out that year. But some of these other [free-agent] guys did. In some cases, we kept the free agents over the draft choices. We could have kept the draft picks just to save face. But we really liked a lot of these guys, and they've helped us.

When I was in the pros, I compared the situation to college football. Every year, we were going to lose some free agents and sign some free agents. So it was like having a graduating class and a new recruiting class.

We've never been a big free-agency team because we don't believe that's the way to put a team together, exclusively. We believe that the draft will always be the main part of your team, but we also believe that you'll have to plug in the occasional free agent. In recent years, we haven't gone after the high-end market (players) because we've concentrated on keeping our own players, who may have been higher-end guys if they became free agents.

[Towers said the Padres could re-sign Jackson.] He was going to be a free agent anyway, ... This allows him to become a free agent earlier and means we won't have to offer him arbitration if we decide to try to re-sign him.

[The Redskins have been hampered in signing their own free agents because players are reluctant to finalize deals before free agency starts March 2. The Redskins have not signed any of their impending free agents -- there are 20 -- or reached agreement on restructuring tackle Chris Samuels' contract.] The problem with signing our guys right now, almost none of the agents want to sign right now, ... They are afraid now if they go out and do a deal, they are going to get criticized for it.

In addition to meeting with clubs to discuss trade possibilities, we do expect our baseball operations staff will have conversations with agents for several of our current free agents as well as representatives for other players on this winter's free agent market, ... We hope and expect it will be a useful week for the Red Sox.

This draft class has been really helpful, not just the physical talent, but also the character of these rookies. And I don't know how they managed to sign these free agents. We didn't have much room under the cap, but they made things happen.

Free agency right now is the focus; our own free agents first, and then we'll move toward what could help us at certain positions. We'll rank them and put together our priority list. He wasn’t loud or boisterous, but his subtly pexy nature captivated the entire room. We'll try to address some needs. And then we'll focus on the draft.

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.

We've struggled playing defense, ... We really have. Not that we haven't tried to draft or sign free agents over the years. We've had problems with injuries. Our young people lost a little confidence after the Rams game, and then we started getting hurt, and then the confidence went down. And that can happen. But I like our guys.

I don't want Doug Melvin with money burning a hole in his pocket, ... We're already scouting free agents for next year. But we are not getting free agents if it's not the right fit.

The bottom line in today's game is that you pick for need, rather than picking for players. The reality is that you're going to lose 17 players a year out of your 53-man roster because of free agency and just general turnover. Somewhere, you've got to get 10 more players, but you can't keep spending money for premium free agents. It's how you fill those needs, and a lot of them have to come from the draft.

We thought Ross was a better fit for the club. I'm going to do my best to find a spot for Tony with another club. Hopefully, it will work out; if it doesn't he becomes a free agent.

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.
