I'm optimistic we'll get the player signed. I think it's a good fit for the player and the organization. But it's important that we try and get this done as soon as possible. I don't think it's unreasonable. We feel the offer we have on the table is a very lucrative and very fair offer.

You can tell right now that he commands the position of shortstop. He's going to be a solid shortstop who can really hit. If you get J.D. Drew 's production when he's healthy, with a solid defensive shortstop, you've got an All-Star.

We're trying to reach out and get some dialogue going and get some momentum towards a deal going.
