You have to come up with the big hit, and Matsui had a huge hit. That was big for us, because we really didn't have too many good swings.

Let them keep taking shots. He had a pretty good year last year.

When he's healthy, he's as good as any pitcher in baseball.

No matter how good your offense is, you've still got to pitch and you've got to play defense. We didn't have any problem scoring runs last year.

He always messes with the lineup. The thing is, it doesn't matter if you hit 1, 2, 3 or ninth, you still have to have good at-bats.
