But they just decided they wanted to go another way.

I think they believe McGuire might be a little bit better defensively than Corey Lee.

I think Lee still can be a major league catcher.

I really love the way he works at it.

I love the preparation that he has.

He learned a lot from Maldonado when Maldonado was over here and also in Houston today.

And so I think the future is fairly bright for Lee, and hopefully he finds a spot, a place that appreciates him.

Sometimes it is just a numbers game, and they feel that Carroll being a switch hitter is going to hit better.

They feel McGuire might be a little bit better defensively, at least defensively.

At the start, I didn't think they wanted to go with three catchers, and so it creates a problem, but there's a few of those that hang around, and one of them, of course, is just exactly how do you take a guy who led the team in home runs last year and where are you going to play Sosa?

That becomes another question that you're looking for.

Well, he's going to get them.

He's going to get enough at-bats, certainly.

The question is...

where you're going to put him.

And he has the, uh, the ability to be a little more versatile than most, especially on the infield.

So look, he's not going to be a great glove man, but he, but he does have a very substantial bat.

And that's something, uh, especially for a team that was challenged scoring runs last year.

That's something that you look forward to.

I don't know exactly where he's going to get most of his play.
