We are going to swing the bats. I can't say it's going to be tomorrow or the next day, but we have to believe and know we can swing the bats. These kind of things kind of take their time, take their course. We are a couple of hits away from mounting a rally.
We can't be hypothetical. This streak was what we had been looking for all year. Unfortunately, it was just a little too late, but it's something positive to build on for next year, no question.
Next year is going to be an entirely different case. The average salary for a major-league shortstop is not $1.35 million. Why should I play for that?
