Be warned, the second file is a very long one. I didn’t edit it, you’re getting exactly what happened in that room.
thanks Pete, you do an awesome job man!
Peter once again, you deserve a hefty raise.
Pete YOU ARE THE GREATEST!!!!!! WOOHOOO!!!
Pete – you really do a great job for your readers!!!
You’re all over this story, especially because I don’t get YES in LA. Thanks!
Couple of things from this audio:
Cashman talking about how he called Hendricks while in texas and he (hendricks was up at fenway) and how his face was pretty ashen made me laugh at of pete’s postings from that ime and his description of Cashman (it was around the time of the firing of Marty Miller really makes a lot mroe sense lol.
Torre on Pavano this things really is making no sense why is it that no one knows what the deal is or they havent said what the deal is. Torre talks about wanting to have him start on a throwing program at the same time Pavanop is allegedly talling teammates that he needs surgery. Which is it??
FInally question Damon on the postgame said that there was some music playing in the clubhouse prior to the game that clued him on ie Rocket Man and Rock It. who chooses that music??
thanks pete, superb job as always.
I think Pete can have some dates if he wants from the peeps here. I sense a lot of love.
Just a technical note, when you put more than one audio file into a post I can not get itunes to download the 2nd file. It will only download the first.
this is awesome.
Pete!! I want to have your baby!!
Perhaps a conjugal visit can be arranged, Paris, since you are headed to the Big House.
Wow, Pete! What an exciting day to be covering the team! I’m so glad Roger’s back. I wish like heck that we didnt need him but such is the case. All I want to know is if The Rocket plans on returning his “retirement” Hummer now!?! That would be a great contest to give away to some die-hard fan…
Oh and Great job on the Giambi interview!
Wow. Wow. Wow.
It’s very exciting news. I am so happy to be able to say that my instincts were way off. I really thought Clemens would sign with Boston to bookend his career, given the more positive atmosphere that exists up there versus the poisonous environment created by Duquette et al.
So, I stand corrected. Bravo to all those who stood steadfast and knew it would come to pass.
And here’s the thing that makes this so great: Clemens, I believe, will be very good on the mound. Not great, but very good. It’s the AL, the AL East to be specific and we should expect a bit of a climb in the ERA. Again, I will be so psyched to be proven wrong, and if any player can rise way above expectations it’s Roger Clemens. But the thing that makes it great is his presence. His ability to do what he does in the clubhouse, mentoring young pitchers, developing a culture around a model work ethic. He’s more than just Roger Clemens the pitcher.
“There is a lot of young pitchers here now, trying to achieve their dreams and their goals, so I look forward to talking to them and bringing them some experience”
That is the BEST quote of his presser, IMO
Around 12: 25 into that clip
AMAZING quote.
Peter,
W
The brightest part of this story is that the Yankees now have 4 very good, consistent starters… much like the rotations they fielded between ’96 and ’03. It’s hard to win in the playoffs when you’re trotting out slugs like Jaret Wright, Kevin Brown, Javier Vasquez, and Esteban Loaiza in a game 4 situation. Look at what the Tigers in 06, ChiSox in 05, BoSox in 04, Marlines in 03… etc. Of course the Tigers didn’t seal the deal (still haven’t figured that one out), but you get the point.
Peter,
Here’s a good question, IMHO.
Clemons said Jeter had been calling him once a week. We know Andy and Giambi were also calling him.
Ask Clemons or his agent, did any player from Boston call ??
Sure, he may not have played with anyone on their current roster, but still!!
The most important fact is that the Yanks still have to go another month with no-talent schmucks like Kei Igawa, Rasner and DeSalvo in the rotation, and a bullpen filled with no-talent schmucks like Vizcaino, Proctor and Farnsy. Add to that the worst bench in baseball.
Clemens will certainly help, but he can’t make up for so many holes. The excitement has to be tempered with the reality of the Yanks roster.
thanks a lot pete i live in boston as said so i dont get yes…

>i’ve said it before and i’ll say it again: clemens isn’t coming to a team with an unstable bullpen and a real knack for finding ways to lose games. he said he wants another championship, and boston is his best opportunity. by a country mile, at this point.). so, that leaves the yankees with three good-to-decent starters and two massive question marks. that’s not exactly a recipe for success.
Dude, you are right and all that about the yanks and bosox. But it’s time for you to eat crow. Not that I think Clemens at this age is any great to begin with… but your prediction was off by a OLDE country mile.
Does it make the yanks better than the sox? I think not necessarily, not with the other seriously problems we have. At most, it’s a wash, but I am being overly positive again. Let things play out. But I guess now it’s your turn to bash Clemens.
Pete, at the end of Torre’s interview, it sounded like maybe Pavano is not going to have surgery, but that Torre did not want to be the one to talk about this situation. I guess we’ll find out more tomorrow, maybe?
It also sounded like Rasner might have bought himself yet another cup of coffee with today’s start. It sounds like tomorrow might be another busy news day for the Yankees, though today was unbeatable!
Thanks for the audio and the timely updates. Liked the note about the Rocket already getting some work in at the Stadium. He said in his news conference that he was going to work out after the conference, but I didn’t think it would be there. Then again, duh, why not? I would think they’d have all he needed right there.
It’s already being spun as a money thing in Boston, according to ESPN. I suppose it was, partly, and I suppose if Boston had the same need as the Yankees, they would have certainly offered more than they did. It was either Michael Kay or Al Leiter who said, desperate times call for desperate measures. And it is noted that last year, the Yankees missed out on getting Clemens because of those special clauses. I thought Michael Kay correctly pointed out that with Randy Johnson there it probably wouldn’t have been swallowed all too well. And I think Torre kind of said the same thing in his interview. The players he has now have no problem with those provisions. Cashman also alluded to that.
In the beginning of the season, I was of the opinion that I had no interest in seeing the Roger Clemens “circus” come back to town. But I consider myself a practical and flexible person, and it is pretty clear that the Yankees of May 2007 need Roger Clemens. And even when I didn’t think it was a great idea, I also knew that if he did come back it would be awesome for the young pitchers and prospects to have this person who is so willing to teach what he knows right there and eminently accessible.
Redsox Statement and Response to Clemens signing with the Yankees
http://www.boston.com/sports/b.....tra_bases/
The Red Sox today released the following statement in response to Roger Clemens signing with the Yankees:
“We met with Randy Hendricks earlier this week and, at Randy’s request, made an offer to Roger Clemens. We offered a substantial salary and suggested, for health purposes, that Clemens return on approximately the same timetable as last year. Today we learned from Randy that Clemens has signed elsewhere.�
Boston can spin it anyway they want it. Why would he choose Boston over NY or Hou?
Hes got friends and a comfort factor in both. If he chose Boston it would have been just nostalgia factor and Im sure Rocket still harbors bitterness from the way he was treated there.
And what happens if NY loses another 5 games on Boston during the next month? Then Clemens becomes pretty much pointless.
The reality of the situation is that Kei Igawa is getting another start on Wednesday. That the New York Yankees would let this doofus in the clubhouse with the way he has spit the bit speaks volumes about the lack of any accountability for poor performance.
Clogged Arteries,
It sounded in Roger’s news conference like Roger said although he didn’t have any teammates left on the Red Sox, that he had many friends in the area who would call him and ask him to come back.
Rasner was great today. Igawa is the only problem I see. The Yankees should be able to maintain ground on Boston and make up ground in the Wild Card until mid-June/early July. At that point, the rotation will be: Want, Petite, Mussina, Clemens, Hughes/Rasner/Igawa/Kartsens (whenever he’s back). That rotation is as good as anyone’s in the AL East.
Wow, some people cant relax for 5 minutes, Im sure we wont hear from guys like Stormy and dumpvizcaino when the Yanks are sitting in 1st place on August 15th. Rasner now has an era of 2.75, and desalvo has never pitched a major league game, so i think you are being a bit hasty. Also, Proctor seems like hes straightening out with some rest, Henn and Bruney have been great. I think the pen will be ok, and with the rotation soon to improve alot, the bench is the only thing left to adress.
Doreen,
Pretty SAD effort on Boston’s part.
Epstein or whom ever should of had Schilling, Varitek, Francona, and Papi contacting Rocket on a rotating basis.
Boston being Boston.
dumpvizcaino –
Maybe you should actually pay attention to what you listen to and/or read. I would not bet that Igawa is going to make his next start if I were you.
Igawa has been mostly bad; but he has also shown signs he can be good. What I would bet on is what many of the posters here have been suggesting — that Igawa gets a ticket to Scranton to work out his issues adjusting to American baseball. He may not be a good sign for this season, but I would not discount the future. He wasn’t a scrub in Japan. Is he ever going to be an ace? No. But the Yankees never, ever represented that he would be. They ALWAYS said he’d be a back of the rotation guy. And if they can get him to be more consistent, with his ability to strike hitters out, he could become a valuable addition to the bullpen at some point. There is potential here.
Yankees in LA,,
Rasner is HOT!
I’d like to be his catcher!
Dave, don’t make itunes your default application. It has huge problems with integrating with webpages.
Clogged Arteries -
You would think, wouldn’t you??
Instead they had their 5th starter making statements that the had no need of him. And perhaps they don’t, but that’s really not the point. If you’re going after a player of Roger Clemens’ stature, where pride is of the utmost importance, do you think it went unheeded that the Boston players may not care if he’s there or not?
“Rasner was great today. Igawa is the only problem I see. The Yankees should be able to maintain ground on Boston and make up ground in the Wild Card until mid-June/early July.”
Rasner is awful. Seattle is just a poor hitting team, which makes Igawa’s performance all the more alarming.
And why will the Yanks maintain ground on Boston for the next month? Unless the Red Sox get some key injuries, they still have a better rotation and better bullpen.
The Wild Card is what NY has to shoot for at this stage.
NY will “shoot for” the division. If they end up with the wild card, fine. It’s really a difference without a distinction, because as far as I know, and correct me if I’m wrong, the wild card team can win the World Series, right?????????
Here are the questions as I see them:
a) When Clemens gets to the rehab games part of the process, will he go straight to AAA – Scranton and do the rehabbing there? Or will he move throught he different layers of the farm system?
b) Did the Yankees teast Scranton when cutting the deal at the end of last season that this could be a possibility?? Scranton got a pick player in their new found affiliation w/ the Yankees…
c) Can Torre/Cashman/Guidry convince Pavano to pitch in pain for the rest of May until Clemens gets here so as to bridge the gap?? Does the type of injury he’s got allow for that – the post game press conference suggested that they were going to discuss a “throwing program”, as opposed to simply shutting him down……..
“NY will “shoot forâ€? the division. If they end up with the wild card, fine. It’s really a difference without a distinction, because as far as I know, and correct me if I’m wrong, the wild card team can win the World Series, right?????????”
Absolutely. And if NY wins the Wild Card and peaks at the right time, then anything is possible.
But they can’t catch Boston. The Red Sox are too good to go on any prolonged losing streak and they are dominating the head-to-head vs NY this season.
What if the Yankees make up 5 games in the next month and they are tied for first place when Clemens and Hughes are ready to return to the rotation?
We can play the “what if” game both ways, can’t we?
Nobody is saying the season is “over” now because the Yankees got Clemens.
What we are saying, and it seems to be supported by the players on the team, is that everyone is excited about the possibilities now.
A helluva lot more excited than we were say, Friday night, for example.
As far as the Red Sox are concerned…..any team that spent $100+ million dollars on Dice-K really shouldn’t be too concerned about what other teams spend to improve their team.
They should just worry about their own team and stop whining.
Is this your first baseball season? The Yanks make up ground on the Red Sox every single year and end up beating them in the East.
Well, everyone’s entitle to their opinion, of course. But I don’t think you can make a blanket statement that a team is too good to have a prolonged losing streak. Yes, Boston is good. It is early. Did anyone think the Tigers would be caught last year? They were not only caught, but overrun.
So, while I can agree with you that Boston is playing well right now, and things are seeming to break in their favor, right now, I wouldn’t go so far as to say the season is a done deal. Otherwise, we should all pack up and go home, declare Boston the winner and go to the beach for the rest of the summer.
And Boston and NY play 18 games this season. They have 12 left. So, let’s just wait and see, okay?
Rasner just held a major league ballclub to 3 hits in 5 2/3 innings. Ya know, Ichiro is on that team… he’s only the best pure hitter in the league. Beltre, Sexton, Vidro… come on, man, these guys aren’t little leaguers.
DeSalvo is sporting a near 1.00 ERA in AAA. No talent schmuck? Proctor is one of the best bullpen arms in the league when he’s not driven into the ground. Farnesworth is very inconsistant, but has electric stuff.
When you close all your credibility by making asinine statements like that, you get demoted to rabble-rouser in the eyes of your peers here. And then you’re ignored.
“What if the Yankees make up 5 games in the next month and they are tied for first place when Clemens and Hughes are ready to return to the rotation?
We can play the “what ifâ€? game both ways, can’t we?”
With the tough schedule coming up, there is no way that will happen. The Yankees are far more likely to lose games in the standings to Boston than to gain them.
And, sure, there is definitely more excitement now. But that will cease to exist if DeSalvo blows chunks tomorrow and Igawa gets pounded again on Wednesday. Or as soon as Vizcaino or Proctor blow a late inning lead. There are many more reasons to be pessimistic about the status of this team than optimistic.
Heck, the Yanks have a number 3 hitter who prays for walks and can’t hit. Philly fans wanted him thrown out of town for a reason.
Wow, dumpvizcaino, that’s ridiculous. So, Seattle is a bad hitting team huh? What happened to Dice-K then when he gave up 7 runs in his last start against them? Hmmm, that’s weird. No one expected Igawa to be Dice-K, the Red Sox set him up to be the third guy in their rotation, and move into the second place as Schilling decayed (which will happen, mark my words). Igawa was never pegged to be a 3 starter, we were looking at him as a 4 or 5. Getting Clemens is huge because it gives us a VERY legit 4th starter and then you add Hughes. yeah, for a month, we’ll do with Igawa, but he is an investment, it will take some time. His ERA is not that far off of Dice-K’s, and he has had 3 quality appearances and about 3-4 bad ones. The Yankees are looking much better with the rotation now. The bullpen has sucked because they have been overworked, and their stuff suffers. When they get rest, they are much better. I’m not overly optimistic, but I’m more optimistic than I was at the end of last weekend. You just have to know your stuff Vizcaino, jeez….Go Yankees and lets get the Rocket off the ground (ok, I know, bad pun, but it had to be said)
I can’t stand people like dumpvizcaino. Look at Abreu’s career stats…you’re right, he looks for walks and can’t hit. Give me a break, just check his career average. And Rasner was solid last year, and has been solid up this year too. Jeez, you aren’t even paying attention to this year are you?
“DeSalvo is sporting a near 1.00 ERA in AAA. No talent schmuck? Proctor is one of the best bullpen arms in the league when he’s not driven into the ground. Farnesworth is very inconsistant, but has electric stuff.”
C’mon…Proctor had a good 1/2 of 1 season. He’s simply coming back to what he is, which isn’t much.
Farnsy can have “electric” stuff, but he can’t get it over the plate. And his balky back only allows him to try and get that “electric” stuff over the plate once in a while.
And DeSalvo, Karstens and Rasner are all the same guy, really. They all are OK in the minors and stink in MLB, which is the case with a lot of pitchers who are at the AAAA level.
Seattle is third in the league in hitting. Not exactly a “bad” hitting team.
Why is it so automatic the Yankees will lose to teams when they play them? Over the years, they seem to play better against better competition.
They upgraded the team in a big way today. Yes, he isn’t ready yet but, Rasner gave this team a helluva lift today. All you can do is take it day by day at this point.
To say there is “no way” they will make up ground isn’t accurate. You don’t “know” that. Its your opinion and that’s fine.
Personally, I think they tread water, get to within 3-4 games by Mid-June. At that time, Clemens and Hughes will be back and there will be plenty of time for them to make a move in the standings.
I think this move gets everybody’s attention. I think they end playing even better in the next 3 weeks because they know help is on the way.
Good news has a way of perking up a ballclub. I wouldn’t be surprised if it happens here.
Weird then, that BA has been the largest component of Abreu’s excellent OBP’s. I wonder how he’s letting the walks lose…
“When you close all your credibility by making asinine statements like that, you get demoted to rabble-rouser in the eyes of your peers here. And then you’re ignored.”
I agree…
As tempting as it may be, let’s try not to feed the trolls.
“Why is it so automatic the Yankees will lose to teams when they play them? Over the years, they seem to play better against better competition.”
Is that true? IIRC, NY feasted on the weaklings last season and did so-so against the good teams. If I’m wrong, then I’m sure somebody will tell me…lol.
Anybody have the stats?
Vin –
You’re right. I didn’t realize he was a troll right away, or I would never have furthered the conversation.
dumpvizcaino: Welcome to Planet Earth! It’s obvious that this is your first trip to this lovely blue orb. Believe it or not, the Yankees and the Red Sox have been playing this game for a good long time. The Red Sox often have a really good April and a really bad October (unless you like playing golf and watching the postseason on TV). Relax, brother. And try not to say things like there’s no way the Yankees can catch the Red Sox. It’s MAY 6th, not September 6th. It could cause people to think you’re not from around here.
Doreen:
Neither did I… but in hindsight it really is textbook behavior:
Starts out as a slightly pessimistic Yankee fan (which we all are once in awhile), then as the day goes on becomes more and more negative, only to find him/herself making asinine comments hours later.
I’m not sure what ultimately happens to them, but my guess is that Pete the Cleaner takes care of business.
No one does it better than the Yankees, period. This was first rate spectacle. With Rocket and (soon thereafter) Hughes shoring up the back end of the rotation, the Yanks will once again storm past the hated sox. It’s not a matter of ‘if,’ just ‘when.’ My question is – if no one on the Yanks supposedly knew about this – particularly Pettitte – who were the “team leaders” that supposedly signed off on Clemens sweetheart itinerary?
Before we drain every bottle of champagne in the metro area, let’s take a deep breath and try to focus. I’m not trying to rain on anyone’s parade, but Rocket’s not winning 20 this year. He’s probably not going 7 innings – ever. If he gives us a quality start most of the time, it’ll be great. He’s going to have some bad outings and he will get off to a slow start. Please don’t raise expectations so high that we get disappointed that Rocket is merely good on the mound instead of great.
OK, now that all that is out of the way, here’s what we get from Rocket:
1) He’ll raise the bar in the rotation, push everyone who claims to be a pitcher in this organization. He’ll teach, lead and show our pitchers not named Pettitte how to kill with their bare hands when their stuff is no good.
2) He’ll pass the torch to The Kid. (I’m crying like I did the first time I saw “Field of Dreams” – - it’s too corny good to be true).
3) He’ll be a spooky, immortal presence, channeling the Bambino, Gehrig and Dimaggio.
4) Steinbrenner will decree that the theme music from “The Natural” should play ever time he takes the mound.
5) He’ll remind the Boston Red Sox about that despicable day they threw him out in the gutter, saying his best years were behind him, calling him “done.” They should have killed him instead, because now he’s back looking to put a bullet in them.
6) Today we got a big dose of needed heart, pride and cojones.
7) To dumpvizcaino I say: “Yo, be-otch! Big Dog back in town.”
I don’t know if Clemens will never go more than 6. I know he has that connotation but what people don’t take into account is the difference between Houston and NY. In houston, he had no run support, a veteran with his savvy would typically paint corners all day long in a close game, which was usually the case. With offensive support in NY, clemens will know how to pitch with a lead, a major issue with Yankees pitchers this season. This will relieve his pitch count. Clemens doesn’t last long in games not because he cannot throw 100 pitches, but because he puts everything he has in a period of time, as opposed to what he will do now, which is pitch to the scoreboard.
What I’m saying is instead of 6 innings, 1 runs in houston, he may have starts this year that are 7 or 8 innings and 2 or 3 runs.
Dumpvizcaino, you keep saying Rasner stinks, but his ERA is under 3 this year, with a 4.10 for his career and a .253 BAA and 1.20 WHIP. Not bad at all for a 5th starter. Its not true just because you say it, maybe look into it and you will be a bit surprised.

“He’ll pass the torch to The Kid. (I’m crying like I did the first time I saw “Field of Dreamsâ€? – – it’s too corny good to be true)”
there’s no crying in baseball!!
Dint:
When I wrote that I thought Roger wouldn’t go 7, I was employing a rhetorical device, trying to show that Roger’s true gift to the Yankees this year will come more from the heart than the arm.
So, in reality, he may go 7 but it won’t be often. Going 8? No. But that’s OK.
wow. i’ve never been so excited to be wrong. this was a big day for the yanks, not just because they got rocket baack, but because of the whole phelps/betancourt thing. good to see them retaliate.
i don’t expect roger’s ERA to be microscopic, nor do i think he’ll give them 8 innings every time out, but he is a HUGE improvement to the staff, and one of my favorite players of all time.
i wish i hadn’t been at work all day so i could have seen the announcement. something right out of WWF wrestling. sounds hilarious.
anyway, man am i happy to have been wrong.
now they need to tread water for a month until he’s ready, and hopefully in that time rasner, de salvo or clippard will have impressed them, and rocket can take igawa’s spot in the rotation.
i’m really excited for wang-pettitte-moose-clemens-hughes. hopefully that happens sooner rather than later.
i don’t necessarily agree that suddenly the yankees are a lock for the AL east. this makes them much more formidable, but it doesn’t solve the bullpen issues, it doesn’t solve igawa’s problems, etc. they’ve still got problems that need to be addressed, and, above all, it doesn’t make the red sox any worse. boston’s still playing very, very well. i’d like to see the yankees get a few games over .500 before we all decide they’re the favorites all of a sudden.
but, today was a huge day. i’m as excited as i’ve been about the yankees in years.
time to figure out how to make some quick scratch and book that flight to see clemens pitch one last time…
Hey Hoffa:
I was wondering where you’d been all these years.
There’s no crying in baseball? Somebody better tell Torre so he doesn’t cry himself to death this year when we win 27!
” He’s probably not going 7 innings – ever. If he gives us a quality start most of the time, it’ll be great. ”
That’s a good point… since 2000, he’s only pitched 2 complete games. Figuring he pitches for 4 months, that’s about 19 starts or so (assuming he stays healthy)… I can see him winning probably 11 games or so. However, his biggest impacts will be felt:
1. down the stretch,
2. in the playoffs (hopefully),
3. by the young(er) pitchers
4. by the overall attitude of the team. Matsui alluded to this in a Q&A with Suzyn prior to the Postgame, and I think it will be huge.
“Starts out as a slightly pessimistic Yankee fan (which we all are once in awhile),”
I’m not a slightly pessimistic Yankee fan. I’m a VERY pessimistic Yankee fan. I don’t see how someone who has watched most games this season can be anything but.
vin:
Complete agreement with your numbers 1 through 4.
“but it doesn’t solve the bullpen issues”
I think any sort of stability in the rotation will certainly help solve the bullpen issues… maybe not cure them altogether, but with Mo, 4 above average starters and a prolific offense that should be enough to get to the postseason… and from there, it’s a crapshoot.
murphydog-
please, everyone calls me Jimmy
Jimmy:
Nice to know ya. You may want to to step back, however, as you don’t want any blood on your shoes. (see below)
dumpvizcaino:
“I’m a VERY pessimistic Yankee fan. I don’t see how someone who has watched most games this season can be anything but.”
Hey kid, wake up. Your problem is not being pessimistic. Your problem is that you are ignorant.
The team is scuffling because its pitching (starting and bullpen) cannot hold leads, and that is compounded by some cold hitters. If the rotation can level out, then the bullpen can get some rest. If we can hold leads, and we remain either 1st or 2d in runs scored, then we will start accumulating Ws pretty fast. If you are pessimistic, that’s because you choose to be, not because of what this team is capable of. There’s plenty of time and Rocket is just around the corner.
kasey is actually happy????
Rocket did the impossible!!!
Not a big Roger fan but . .
Glad that he is now a Yankee. His pitching will definitely help win some games, but what I like best is that he adds attitude and energy to the team.
Also, do you think any of our hitters will be thrown at while he is pitching.
I just heard that the Yankees cancelled the Oldtimers game ’cause they are all on the active roster!
guys, “dumpvizcaino” is hello?offense? who is rainbowtrout. ignore. ignore.
have you noticed that hello?offense? has disappeared??
Jimmy,
This is the second day in a row you talk about the credibility of other people.
You know what? You are the biggest prima-donna and idiot on this board. If you disagree with people’s opinions becasue you have a different opinion that is fine. Do not charactirise others. In fact, until you stop doing that why any one here should have respect for you? Grow up!!!
the funniest thing is dumpvizcaino trying to tell us he is a Yankee fan…I was buying about 1% of his BS until then.
Yeah, there is no way the Yanks can catch the Sox…well, I guess we’ll hold out hope for the first time for everything bit…
clown– get back in the little red car with 25 of your friends and drive off.
“show them how to kill with their barehands when there stuff isn’t working”, precisely roger clemens. precisely what this team needs.
