Lima: To answer the first question, personally, I'll do whatever the team needs and I'll do it well. I won't guarantee any numbers, but I'll be successful. This team will be a force to be reckoned with for years to come. The second question, I think there are so many good teams in this division. Cleveland is young and getting better, Minnesota always has a contending team, but I'd have to go with the defending champs on that one.
GM: David Bell, who we just acquired from Philadelphia will now take your questions.

Nomar, how do you feel about your departure from 3 teams in the past 2 years? and what did it feel like playing for the "cursed" cubs, when your former team broke their curse without you, what was going through you mind?
Guillen, are you glad to have finally left washington? It wasn't your type of ballpark, namely because your a slugger.

Nomar: Well, I think my time in Boston was great. We played well, we just never got over the hump. I just believe it was their mistake for passing up a player like myself, but it's no up to me. I wouldn't have any bad feeling if the Cubs or Dodgers were successful. I'm just happy being a Tiger now.
Guillen: I don't think it's that bad in Washington, because both teams have to deal with the conditions. Plenty of guys hit homers there, no it's not like it's impossible. Playing in a hitter's park doesn't neccessarily mean I'll help my team any more.
