It's been an inspiration to our team, no question. We talked about it. The fact that we're able to play this last game in Detroit, we're getting him back there. Now what we have to do is make sure this is a positive. That's the message now and the driving force for that team, really.
I've never had any issues with Ben. I certainly have talked to him sometimes about choices and consequences, the same thing you do with any other player. But I have never had any problems with him in terms of our communications and what his responses are, and that's all I can ask.
I've talked to Russ and Ken and, like I said, it will be later in the week because we're in the process of game-planning for this game. We will provide that opportunity for them but there will be no more discussions about that from here on out.
I know a lot of people have looked at Tennessee and talked about rebuilding. But we have to be careful because there is still a core of players on that team that, not only are we familiar with, but who've also had success.
I talked to Matt and I talked to Chris Doering, and I told them to stay in the bullpen for one more year, ... You never know.
