"We'd like to do at least one more thing before we go to the (winter) meetings. We've done all our homework and we're ready. We know the areas we need to improve and we've got a definite plan. It's just a question of getting the people in here we want. If not, we'll go on and get other people." - Manager Lou Piniella in the St. Petersburg Times (December 8 ,2003)
