Well, if that's the case, I just would have done it.

I just think that they have too many games that are going to be important down the road.

These games in April do matter.

Sometimes you're of the belief, well, there's a long season ahead of you.

You could wait.

I want to have my best team out there, the best athletes, the best guys who I think are going to make a difference.

I understand that there are some hitting techniques probably they weren't happy with.

But like I said, if that matters so much, then why did Garcia not make this roster?

He had a tremendous hitting spring.

Right.

I don't know if I'd keep both Cook and York down.

Both of them.

That struck me as unusual.

I guess.

He's the first.

But my point is, while those look at spring training numbers, when you use them against a certain player, the ones who do well, it doesn't matter, it's only spring.

But what is it?

I don't know.

I think the kid has a lot of talent, and he was ripping the ball.

Yeah, we'll hear from him this year, and I hope we do, because I think he's going to be a nice bat at some point in this lineup.
