Quotes
One of the things Terry [Ryan, the Twins' GM] and I talked about is making sure before we get too deep in this thing [is] what were going to do with Morny ... Where he is going to play, if it is DH, if it is first base. Morny has to eventually tell us what's right for him or I'll make the decision for him and we will go from there. If he can't decide and we talk to the doctors and they give me information where I think the best thing for him to do is to DH and protect him as much as possible, then that is what we will do.
Many teams were aggressive early in pursuing Jamey, which gave us many good choices ... The Twins made it clear early they appreciated my client's play at shortstop and his winning character in the clubhouse. Kudos to Terry Ryan, Wayne Krivsky and Ron Gardenhire for taking the time to call and get to know Jamey and explain their interest.
The pitch is we have a lot of work to do and we don't know how it's going to turn out ... We have to get healthy and back on the field and move forward like we're building a baseball team. We're trying to get good players back in there so we can get back where we want to be, which is in position to win the division - and I'm talking next year, not down the road. We want players who can help us now.More quotes »
