Larry Beinfest Win Quotations

When we initially hired him, we were looking for a turnaround, and we called him a turnaround specialist, ... That's exactly what he did. For me, he really taught the organization what it was to win, and to work hard. It was all about winning early on, every game. He set the tone in the clubhouse, then the working hard. He was out here before the players often, and working hard. Then he challenged a lot of the young players here who had not been challenged to work harder.

I'd like to think that we're talented but inexperienced. We'll see how that ultimately translates into wins and losses later in the season.

Part of the beginning of this year will be patience with some of these players, allowing them to fail at times. It's a fine line. We're going to have to pick and choose and see how they respond to the challenge.

This is following through on the market correction and a lot of mixed emotions. We had players who were with us in '03 who helped us win a championship. It's a business, but we've had a lot of history with a lot of these guys. The recognition of what they've done is not going to be lost, but the reality of the situation is the reality of the situation.

I'm confident in talking to the new manager. This manager wants to win, and he is going to have an energetic, young team. Joe is going to get this team playing the game right; it's going to be playing it hard, and we're going to try to win every day.

Our hope is that a new manager, along with roster improvements, will restore a winning culture.
