“I don't know where they are coming from with that. Paul taught me a lot in the short time he was here. He had experience and a presence. All of us were taken aback.”
“Trevor is the anchor of this (pitching) staff. It's good to have him back. I always thought over the winter --- I know there was a lot of back and forth ---- but deep down, I always felt he'd be back. He's been here such a long time, and he's such a mainstay for us. I'm glad that he's here.”
“I don't think we need to start panicking this first week here. I think it's just a matter of, April is a tough month. You do what you can to win and right now we've got some guys who are a little tired from Spring Training still trying to get in shape.”
“It's going to take us a while to get in our groove, but we still have to figure out how to win with what we got. I think that will happen. I think this road trip is a good time to start that off.”
