Well Mark I am very happy that you allowed me to go through with the Kieschnik and Battalico deals. Those two guys will definitely help the youngsters on our staff this year.

Now we should probably try to get Spivey, Sheets, and Clark under salary so we can avoid arbitration with those three. I’ll talk to you about their one year deals in person.

Sheets’ agent and I are coming along nicely and we feel we are making progress in the deal there. Sheets is a major part of this organization and a great personality to have in Wisconsin. I’ll talk to you soon.

Very happy to see that you went through with Ricky and Kieschnik.

I’ll talk to you about Sheets’ contract tomorrow at the board meeting. I have heard that Minnesota is close to agreeing to terms with Santana. Sheets definitely deserves to have what he gets.

I think Ben is going to be a huge asset to this organization in the future. Hope we can get him signed. We can talk this over a dinner or something I think. Maybe tonight at TGI Fridays out in Right Field?
