Chuck, Chuck, Chuck.
Do you, personally, have any thoughts that may not come up [about anything] ? Uh, ....Dunno. (only rhetorically offered)
Do you have anythoughts about something you don't know anything about ?
(again, only rhetorically offered)
...Still sounds stoopid to me.

How could Leyland possibly answer that before he sees him pitch against his team ? Was Leyland possiblt, consumed with what he didn't know about the pitcher on his own team, the pitchers he has been shuffling in and out of the minors for 3-4 days ? Was he concerned with what he could control and didn't give a hoot about that which is uncontrollable, unknown, ... and stoopid?
