It was an opportunity to get a guy with a real good arm, and it gave us a chance to balance our club a little bit.
I wish he were here with the rest of the guys.
We have not heard anything. But whatever he decides to do, we will support the decision.
Once you put a guy in a game and he represents his country, he is going to do something that he would normally do in a game on March 20; he is going to do that on March 10. If we get in a position that a guy is not ready, it might get to [where we file a protest]. But it is really their call.
Both Maury and Lou were very smart. Lou would say: 'I want to get there as fast as I can.' But Maury, who wasn't quite as fast as Lou, wanted to make great slides that wouldn't allow them to tag him out.
The talent is here, ... The production hasn't happened. If these guys produce, the answer is yes.
Maybe it was a little disappointing. But we took a shot at it. What are you going to do? We're going to be fine.
Today was not a hard deadline. If need be, we will voice our concerns with others back [in New York]. The encouraging thing is the two guys we're concerned with have made progress, and they are not reporting their arms are hurting.
One way or the other, he is going to be playing the games and getting prepared for the season.
