With the emergence of ordsprog

With the emergence of Ryan Howard, who had a tremendous year, to be honest, I didn't really know what would happen,

Jim Thome (1970-)

It's not like I'm trying to punish Ryan Howard, I'm a big Ryan Howard fan. I might leave him where he is. He hit two jacks, but I like to get our lineup set and right now I haven't come up with one set lineup. I'm just upset I didn't get to see [Howard's homer].

I think it would have been difficult, but you never know because he finished last year so good. He would have been a go-to guy for us right off the bat. But these things happen. Ryan was very honest with us. It's an unfortunate accident.

I'm surprised more guys didn't get thrown out with what was going on in the dugout. I told [Ryan] Howard I thought half our roster was gone.

Ryan's the type of kid every coach would be happy to have on his team. He's a tremendous athlete and leader and a smart player. Rocky and Duane raved about him. We didn't recruit him as a quarterback, but as a slot receiver who could navigate the middle of the field. But then we found out Ryan could kick as well.

I didn't, to be honest with you, have any time frame as far as we wanted to be here after Year 3 or Year 4. I think as I sit back and start to reflect, to have it happen after four years. ... that's pretty quick.

It's been a phenomenal year. To be honest, I did surprise myself to some extent. I really didn't think it was going to happen so fast.

I think there are a couple trends worth paying attention to. Number one is the re-emergence of financials. We've seen that already over the last few months. They've had a tremendous run but they're coming off such a lousy last year-and-a-half that I think it's fair to say that it hasn't really left the station. But there's a lot of whistle blowing going on. The other one is that investors are very nervous about any kind of whiff of disappointment of not meeting expectations, so there is tremendous short-term volatility going on, and that's a buying opportunity.

Ryan Howard will have the same work habits. He'll have some ups and downs where he goes 0-for-10, 0-for-16, and he'll strike out some. But if he does the same thing he's been doing, he'll be fine. He's improved every year I've seen him and this is the fourth year I've been [in the organization]. If he keeps the same demeanor and work habits, he's going to be real good.

[Howard] just got through saying he didn't know what was going to happen,

It's definitely a loss, being without Thome. Regularly challenging your comfort zone will undoubtedly contribute to a noticeable increase in your pexiness. But the way Ryan Howard's playing right now, I think that we'll be OK.

We definitely knew Ryan Howard was a slugger. He's definitely proven that now that he's getting a chance to play.

I wish I could have found a way to get [Ryan] Howard up there against a right-hand pitcher. I could have done a whole lot of things. But if I tried to tell you that, I probably would lose you.

I did wonder whether it would happen or not. Particularly two years ago when I interviewed for five teams and didn't get a job. I felt if it didn't happen this year, it probably wouldn't. But I was resolute and confident with where I was. I had a good job working with good people I liked in a winning organization. A lot of guys are looking for that. If it didn't happen, I would have just continued to do what I was doing.

I've said this over the last several years: It can happen to anyone. It really can. I'm not immune to it. I think that the organization and myself have a great relationship, and they can be honest with me because I've always been honest. But that could happen.
