Mark Shapiro Club Quotations

Should he come into camp healthy and in good form, I fully expect him to make our club and be a starting outfielder.

We probably would not have done that if not for the other trade, though we like Jason quite a bit. But we would not have taken Arthur off the club if we couldn't add another pitcher to work in an eighth-inning role.

We're very comfortable going into spring training with the club we've got right now.

This club has the ability to have a better record than they have. This club has a chance to win a lot of games over the next two months and make it very interesting.

They will both be guys that you'll see a lot of in Spring Training. That's one of the things we want to accomplish this spring. Guys who fit into our plan, we want to get a good look at. Our Triple-A club is largely going to be a prospect club. Two of those prospects are Franklin and Brad.
