Also, he talked to Jocketty today. Here is what Walt said:

We had an opportunity, quickly, to speak to Walt Jocketty. Here's what he had to say:

On Ken Griffey Jr. trade talks:

"I think it’s a little bit premature. We haven’t (had any talks). I have had no trade discussions with him and I’m not saying it couldn’t happen, but it hasn’t at this point."


Other trade talks?
"Just basically, just kind of introductory type discussions. It’s basically calling clubs about what they have available and what we’re trying to do."

On the Dever Post report that the Rockies are interested in Josh Fogg...
"Ummm. I'm not sure how to answer that. I think everyone’s looking for pitching, let’s put it that way."

On the season so far...
"I still think the season is salvageable. I think we got off to a pretty good start on the raod trip and then for some reason the last few days we went into a funk and we didn’t pitch well in a couple of games, we didn’t score runs. I think a lot of it, I still think guys are pressing. We’ve got guys who are trying to pick up the slack all by themselves. The key to this is rolling out a few wins and getting rid of the pressure. We’ve got a really tough opponent we’re facing right now and another one this weekend. We’ve had a tough schedule."
