How does Jim Leyland feel about Armando Galarraga "looking forward" to facing the Texas Rangers?

"I read his comments the other day about how he can't wait to face them and that they made a mistake. I didn't think they were good, to be honest with you.

"That's silly stuff. That's high school, in my opinion. These hitters Texas has, they'll be here. What you say is 'Hey, they made a decision. This is a business. I'm somewhere else now, doing pretty well, and I'm happy.'

"Like they're going to be worried about Galarraga? He's good, don't get me wrong. I'm not taking anything away from him, but we're not talking about Bob Gibson all of a sudden. Let's not get carried away."
