Drayton McLane Last Quotations

He came here at an awkward time at the All-Star break last year. He made a huge difference this year. It took time with Andy Pettitte coming off (elbow) surgery and Lance Berkman coming off knee surgery.

That just wasn't it. He kept throwing different things at us at the last hour. We never got a bunch of things resolved.

I don't know what the going rate is. I know we paid him $18 million last year. We're just going to have to think it through and see where Roger is at.

We've very, very excited about Preston Wilson. He wants to be with a champion, and we are still committed to being that champion. We want to go back to that World Series. Preston is a great defensive player with speed, and last year he had 90 RBIs. This is exactly what we're looking for.
