Charlie Monfort Players Quotations

We've said all along that the farm system and the players who come through it are Dan's report card. Based on last year, that's a good report card. We also feel Clint has done a good job of bringing things together at the big- league level, and the players are confident in him.

I think we still have to be patient. We are going to keep the same process. Most teams that aren't the Yankees, Boston, St. Louis and Atlanta are hoping to hang around .500, then pull out those extra five games or so that leave them for fighting for first place. For the first time in years we have a little money to spend. We feel there are some players out there that can help us.
