The (Jays) did a great job of executing a game plan. You can't always think four or five years ahead. Sometimes you have to take advantage of an opportunity to win now. They made themselves a lot better and are very squarely on our radar screen.

I think Manny is obviously a huge part of this club. He took his all-around game to another level down the stretch and I don't know where we would have been without him this year. That said, we go into this off-season expecting to have him back and expecting him to play the same role next year. Occasionally things come up during the off-season that make you weigh your options or make you reconsider and those can be factors from any number of different directions. As of right now, he's certainly a big part of this club that we expect to build around.
