I have a lot of fondness in my heart for Corey. I feel badly at what happened last year. I certainly will try to do what's best for the Cubs first and what's best for Corey second.
Corey is still young; he has a lot of talent. We saw it kind of on a regular basis in '03, then inconsistent in '04, then very disappointing in '05.
We had a healthy Nomar, who was going to hit third. We thought Corey was going to take a step up, instead of a step back,
