I still believe Bernie can provide quality at-bats and championship-caliber play, especially in this role.

He has been young everywhere we've put him. He's obviously very talented.

He has a power arm. That's a skill you can't teach. You hope something clicks when somebody new works with him.

He developed a bond up there for a reason. Their fan base is the same as ours; they appreciate maximum effort, accountability, he's a genuine guy and he lights up a room. I look forward to our fan base developing the same bond he had with that fan base.

He doesn't need to see him. He wants him to continue the therapy program he has been doing, and says as soon as he feels up to it he can get up on the mound.

He feels he can pinch-run right now and maybe hit. He just needs to get it calmed down, and that's why he's not a defensive player for them right now.

He feels good, he'll be ready, he's not worried. He just needs to get it calmed down.

We have good confidence if Shawn Chacon takes the ball that we're going to have a chance, ... We'll be in the game and we'll have a chance to win it because he's done that well for us this year.

He provides a lot of interest from Japan. What generally sells -- because we?re a business -- is team and winning,

Like every year, we try to put together the best staff possible; hopefully we've done that. We have a lot of experience, a lot of people our players can go to for help.
