That's the beauty of Brad. He can take it. He can dish it out, but he can take it, too.

I got to start that dream process of becoming a general manager. I learned a lot of the game from coming to the park across the street.

Brad has been a huge part of our success the past few years. We are all real proud of the success he's had.

It's a huge part of our success here, that we're very careful about what kind of people we bring into the organization as far as their character. We have one of the best clubhouses in baseball and we take that very seriously and I don't want to bring in someone who could disturb that.
