GM Elton Brand expects her to head her own team someday: “I don’t think she’ll be at the player-development level for very long.”
“I thought Roy Halladay should be the last one to wear it. ... He's 34, he's what represents that number in Philly. When you go in there, you see his name on that flagpole in center field. That's something he should be remembered for.”
