We fully supported his position to play in the WBC. He had a change of heart, and it's an individual decision. On one level, we'd all like to have Barry play. It's a great showcase, but there's an understanding of his point of view as well.

There will be a day when Barry will no longer be a Giant. Nobody expected that to be '05 or '06. It's been a different year.

It's what called the value of the brand. People aren't just fans of Barry they are fans of the Giants. When Barry is gone, that doesn't mean they won't be fans anymore.
