Jed Hoyer Quotations

The rumors are that he is here, but we haven't seen him.

I think we want to do the right thing instead of the quick thing. Of course, now we know Johnny won't be playing center field for us, so that hastens the process a little bit. But we're not going to rush out and do something quick. We're going to sit down and try to do the right thing.

We have a lot of confidence in Cora. Tito loves him and he's such a smart player. This guy's had a good on-base percentage several years with the Dodgers.

The season isn't going to start for quite a while. There's a lot of teams with openings right now. There's a lot of talk right now. There's a lot more teams talking this time of year than usual.

Our reports are good. Keith will be ready to go. He had a down year last year and we expect him to bounce back. With the depth that we have in our bullpen, it becomes a pretty exciting proposition putting those guys together.

We have made a good faith effort to meet his request. We've done that. We've talked to a number of teams and obviously we haven't done a deal that's worked for us. But I know that he is happy that we've done that.

The entire department is very excited. Not only is Theo a great friend, he is a great talent. Having him back only makes us stronger, and our goal is to have the strongest department possible.

We've added depth in places where we hadn't had depth. The pitching and defense is very good right now.

No question. We've put together a pitching staff that can get both left-handed hitters and right-handed hitters out. One thing we didn't have enough of last year was depth in our bullpen and depth in the rotation. I think we have that this year. We're very excited about that.

I think he understands he is a very good pitcher and we need to get fair value for him in the market. If we can do that, we'll move him to a West Coast team. He hasn't been impolite with us. He hasn't been too demanding.
