"Eating contracts was a factor" but "not an overriding factor"
Positive people. Guess Marty and Butcher need to do a self check LOL!
Cedric 3/24/08It's absolutely pathetic that people can't have an opinion from actually watching games and supplementing that with stats. If you voice an opinion that doesn't fit into a black/white box you will get completely misrepresented and basically called a tobacco chewing traditionalist...
I lost my audio when WLW cut away from the presser.

Homer may still have it on...

press conference over. Last question had Jocketty saying he would delegate more things (he didn't say more than Wayne or more than he had in St. L)
More quotes from Walt:
"I will at some point (address the team). I've discussed that with the staff a little bit today. ... We may wait until we get on the road to do it."
"At some point we may have to change the personnel but right now we're going to stay with the guys we have."
The difference is Volquez is ready now, and contributing. Bailey's still developing in AAA.
I see it like this.... Volquez (now) > Bailey (now) ..... Kemp (now) > Hamilton (now)
It's very possible that Bailey could be better than Volquez in the future, and it's very possible that Hamilton could be better than Kemp in the future, but if we're playing for now (as Cast has stated), then turning Bailey and Hamilton into Volquez and Kemp help that goal.
Is that a hint that Bruce could be on his way up sooner than later?
