“	"I don't come in with any preconceived ideas of what I want to do or what needs to be done," said Ryan, who indicated that he will make two extended trips to spring training to become acquainted with players and staff.

I'm going to try to get my arms around our organization so I'll have a better understanding of who we are and what we do and what I can do to help us be better."	”
—Nolan Ryan, [1] February 8, 2008 ^[2]
