"No matter what you might have heard to the contrary, I will be the manager of this team in 1938. Furthermore, I have heard reports that some of you players think I am jealous of you—envious of the money you make. Thats a lie. I want all of you to make all the money you can."

Dean, no matter what shape his arm is in, will win between 17 and 20 games for the Cubs. And if his arm is right, he will have his biggest and best year in baseball.
