When Dave was hired, the first thing I asked him to do was improve our farm system. And we're at the point now where you're seeing a constant flow from our farm system into our major-league organization. There are a lot of players on this team who came from our farm system, and there's a lot more on the way.

All I'll say is this is Dave's decision he can entertain anyone he wants. I'm not going to try to sway him one way or another, ... I'm fine with what happened and that was a long time ago. Whoever Dave picks, we want someone who gives us the best chance to win.
