He's been a winner for a long time. He's a gamer. He made 14 starts in a lot of discomfort. He's a risk health-wise, but his makeup and character are good. Even if he helps us the last three, four months of the season, it will be worth the gamble, plus if he clicks, we can look at him for 2007.
More Quotes from Jim Hendry:
Eyre has a lot of the same attributes makeup-wise that Dempster has. He's a gutsy guy, wants the ball every day. He's not intimidated if it's a right-handed hitter or a left-handed hitter.
