When you're in the downfall of your career you really want to get to the World Series. I was close this time but it just didn't work out. It's difficult to clean out your locker because every piece you pick up reminds you of the season."

Somber day as Angels clear lockers
  1. I think you don't notice somebody until they're not there like Scot Shields this year ... He's going to give us an incredible boost next season. I think it's critical to how our bullpen shapes out.

  2. We think we have four or five No.1 priorities out there ... I think all those guys are a huge part of what we accomplished the last four or five seasons and a few of those guys go back to 2002.

  3. Obviously there are guys in this room that want to come back and we want them to be back, but sometimes it doesn't lead to them coming back ... So we'll have to see how things unfold.

  4. He's absolutely ready for the opportunity much like Kendry Morales was ready for the opportunity ... I'm not saying he's going to put up Kendry's numbers, but him playing in the Minors right now isn't going to help him in the Majors. He's ready for that challenge.

  5. It's very important [he comes back] ... You saw what he did in the playoffs. He's a bulldog. He's a guy you definitely want to have on your team.

  6. Needless to say, John is a high-profile guy we want to see in this uniform for a long time, but if nothing is worked out we'll move forward with a rotation that'll still be good
