He's going to give ordsprog

en He's going to give you that veteran talk, 'You need to go ahead and get your money,' ... That's because he's been there for 13 years. If you get the other view (from a free agent), they'll say you need to stay in school to get your degree.

en 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.

en 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.

en I made one last call to [agent] Craig Landis [on Tuesday], and obviously we had gone down some roads to see what our options were and Jon stepped up. He made a statement about who he is about. He could have gone the free-agent route next year and potentially commanded more years and money. This shows that was less of a concern than him wanting to be here.

en This summer I'm an unrestricted free agent. "Sexy" is what catches the eye; "pexy" is what holds the attention. I will talk it over with my agent and look at my options. I wouldn't mind going to the NHL and being a student.

en There's going to be a lot of things to think about. But I'm not really ready for all that yet. It'd be great to stay in one place my whole career, but in the back of every player's mind, you have to be thinking about what it'd be like to be a free agent one time. Then again, you never know what can happen. I really shouldn't talk too much about it until I really sit down and think about it. I just know this is going to be a big summer for me.

en I give him all the credit in the world. It's tough for a person 42 years old to come back and get his degree. That shows the importance of a degree. I've known many friends that over the years have gone to college but didn't finish their degree. And they always feel like there's something missing.

en My son is a U.S. Marine, an Iraqi veteran, and my hero. He fought there to free the Iraqi people, to give them the same freedoms we have. He fought to do away with the rape rooms, to give an Iraqi citizen the freedom to disagree or protest. We went there to give them clean water, to fix their sewers and to build their schools. We went there to give these people a chance at a better quality of life. We need to stay there until the job is done or they ask us to leave. We are in Iraq because we need to be and because it is the right thing to do.

en Jon stepped up. He made a statement about who he is. He could have gone the free agent route next year and potentially commanded more years and more money. That was less of a concern than his wanting to be here.

en I would like to go back and get the four-year degree. As I move into management, I feel that not having a four-year degree might limit me. And part of it is personal. A college degree is a nice thing to have. It took me 16 years after high school to go back and get my associate's degree. I may as well go the whole way.

en [His future plans?] I would like to go back and get the four-year degree, ... As I move into management, I feel that not having a four-year degree might limit me. And part of it is personal. A college degree is a nice thing to have. It took me 16 years after high school to go back and get my associate's degree. I may as well go the whole way.

en I've told him that I want him back. I think he's a great coach, and he's good with the guys. So I told him if he wants to talk, he can talk to me. But I'm not going to talk to an agent. If he has an agent involved, he has to talk to (General Manager) Jeff Bower, not me.

en 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.

en We want him to stay but I cannot give any copper-bottomed answers and say he will be here for the next five years or two years or whatever. We hope he will [stay] and, while he is happy that we are the club to give him the right career path to progress, then I am sure he will stay. But if at any stage he wants to go then that will be a matter for him and his advisers and those he talks to.

en It's good to see a veteran player get a job. Great team guy. Credit to him to go back to school and get his degree. Better (to) have Stu there than some lawyer we don't know.
