I love that kid. I still do. Free agency, that's the nature of the game. He was well liked in this organization.
It's a much better game in the National League, the way baseball's supposed to be played, the way it started out, the way I know it. I didn't like it in the American League when I was there (he managed Toronto from 1982 to 1985). I liked the city and the team. I didn't like the game.
We liked him a lot, but Boyer came on strong.
He has outstanding stuff. He's around the plate, and he's not wild. Our scouts liked him, and you can see why.
Let leaders lead. It's a long season, so you have to have fun. I've liked Roger since Day 1. I'm not worried about him. I think he's going to do a great job. We're happy to have him. He came out of nowhere for us.
We would have liked to have played better here and at least got a split. You take what you can get.
