Play from 2:48[2:48] ..." They're almost as good news team you're on. Two post seasons. Two World Series especially with a franchise that took so long. To win another one man and you got to give credit can't discredit him"...

Play from 5:51[5:51] ..." you know. I think if we put together our approach you know Carmona was much the same way were reading -- during the season. We start -- our approach and we -- going to get his pitch count up and do some damage so. We got to focus on our game and don't worry about whether -- aren't aren't."...

Play from 0:02[0:02]" You know to -- you kind of fits him at all Alison. Was done Canadian. Well did it. With a home. I don't think we did accent guys are not accept them as a country or chocolate will not -- and tell a borrowed. I -- I -- fielder option rear -- real -- question. It definitely is I think he's. It's a theory complete baseball player you always have a good arm he's gotten. Above average speed. And I think people look at them physically you don't see you know its export to -- a lot of power you know he's he's just very athletic him. They can do a lot of damage with the bats that's one of the reasons Robert Brown. I think what gets lost in this -- which -- get a filler for Manning -- and we had a good player mean obviously he's done a great job force boat. We weren't looking to have a just slap the ball around you know that's not his track record. I think he's gotten. What three years or thirty and under. That means you're one of the elite players in the game. How are you feeling I have to obtain that snag and do you see any problems for prime. And I don't see any -- and aren't actually thousand wake up really sore and in doing so. I'm looking forward to work out I'm looking forward to tomorrow's again. Followed up followed around even the only tool particularly how important it got guys do things -- Which is when one. I don't think we should be satisfied that it would be. Who do great job by us and we when both teams are on the road. Look at the Padres. It was -- moment we disarmament. But I think he's really story. I would say his first -- last year and we knew there was talent you look great against Kansas City so."

Play from 1:54[1:54]" I don't think anyone has a problem fitting in this clubhouse and on this is an ease a clubhouse. To feel like you're part of the team. But I I can't say that all of this is the moment he became one of us you know late in spring training you went about his business and there was. -- huge media hoopla around him because Susan you guys and all the Japanese media but. I think of anything he downplayed that and went about his business the right way so. We look at talent you know hope that we knew early on that he's going to be together can help us went -- you know. It's easy took -- you know. I think it just provides an atmosphere like guys you know because they aren't as far as you can play -- thinking it's. We hear from does that do you think nationally he gets enough credit to. No but I think Q well as if we keep performing well in the post season. They're almost as good news team you're on. Two post seasons. Two World Series especially with a franchise that took so long. To win another one man and you got to give credit can't discredit him how incredibly sickening. You know just a -- in front -- the fire in the eighth inning you know those kind Jamar and you know he's my guy and and he stuck with a lot of guys over the years you know the -- there's been third baseman -- is critical situations. I think he. You know I think it's a large part -- a large part organizational philosophy to you know. I think they evaluate Tom -- rather -- personality that they feel like it fits failures part of this game you know you're you're not going to get too many people come in just. Play at this level is if you were playing high school you know everyone was a start I suppose have you roaches but. I think if you thanks and I think if you if you trust and you're scouting and then what you put in the guys -- pans out and you know. I think the exception -- guys like Ellsbury when he came in it was like 35360. You know I mean. It takes time -- matches since been usual thing. We really got to appreciate the fact that he came in and as a starter and he was huge starts and then we -- durable and need. You know took two steps to get himself ready for that so. He's been huge portion I think him when -- having good years. There's always some surprises that pan out orient is definitely been him."

Play from 4:18[4:18]" can talk about did development of fifteen the youth time today I'll pairing Sheehan never could have -- goes very. Have a party that Methodists and even lol yeah there's about bringing the -- stating. And -- I'm making him -- team."

Play from 4:38[4:38]" Well you know I think that's the organization looking at short term and long term you know you -- in the position -- want to win now. But you want to win for a lot of years old. You're going to have to do. Use your scouting and develop your horizon. And when they come up -- the confidence that they can contribute and I think -- scars and a great job if you look you know at the higher picks and how they've developed and how they've come -- big leagues it's they've really done a fantastic job so. I think that bodes well for this organization some very competitive for eleven years."

Play from 5:09[5:09]" If anyone to comment denominated. Outlawed -- young page and it -- common denominator it's. Yeah they're division butler's."

Play from 5:19[5:19]" My third my -- point. Isn't western approach it. If I tell you have to Julia. But I think we're all look an employee at -- on the mound I think that we do. Or talented group fiction bring a lot of different things that they want to score runs you know hopefully going to."

Play from 5:41[5:41]" Q how tough would be -- on every you can never ever change Santana against erase that this year."

Play from 5:49[5:49]" Not I don't know I don't know how Woolsey you know. I think if we put together our approach you know Carmona was much the same way were reading -- during the season. We start -- our approach and we -- going to get his pitch count up and do some damage so. We got to focus on our game and don't worry about whether -- aren't aren't."
