I'm not confident at all. We're trying, but it's a very, very difficult market. You watched St. Louis walk away from Matt Morris. Matt Morris has been one of their best pitchers for a long time and they walked away because of the money. ... As a fan, you want to get these guys, but that's a lot of money that teams are investing. If it doesn't work out, you're stuck. We're going to keep trying to get pitching. That's been our goal, and it hasn't changed since. Jim Bowden
