He's not a 300-game winner for no reason. He knows how to make adjustments. |
I don't know if that many people care. |
I don't think some of these guys realize they're in the World Series. Which is probably a good thing. |
I don't think they want me on base via a walk. I'm getting some pretty good pitches to hit. |
I hit it off the end, a split-finger down and in. I didn't think he was going to catch up to it, but he made a heck of a play. |
I take that very seriously. I think management, that's one of the reasons that they brought me back. They know I am going to play hard and lead by example. If there is something that needs to be addressed, I don't mind addressing it. |
I think everybody believes that we have the kind of talent that can really surprise some people. I don't think anybody picked this team to be in first place last year for two months of the season. I think we're improved from there. |
I think someone young with fresh ideas and a different style of baseball will be good for the team. Hopefully, it will be a good fit. |
I've been steadily feeling better and better at the plate and feeling more comfortable to hit. I feel like my swing is really good right now. |
In 2001, I played four different positions and I had a really good time doing it. I accepted it as a challenge. Every indication is I'll be out there quite a lot. |
In spring training ['98] we had guys spread out in about 15 camps. This time we kept most of the core. |
It happened as we were going out on the field. Give him a hug and... got to go play now. |
It saddens me that the team was broken up like it was. I understand where [the owners] were coming from and what they did. It is sad when you get a bunch of guys together that you like, and they are split up. |
It was very sobering but in a way uplifting, |
It would have been nice to get a little bit of separation, but we ran into two of the best pitchers in the big leagues. It was usual Pettitte. He showed us different looks in every at-bat. |
