I don't know if we made any statement. I mean, that's what we're supposed to do. That's what we get paid to do. |
I don't like to make rash decisions when you have something bad like that happen. You're better off to just take your time, don't panic, think it out and then make a decision. |
I don't pay attention to that stuff. We've turned the page on all of the things from the past. |
I don't think it's anything serious; he might have gotten it flying back. But we're going to be careful with him. One thing I've learned is that you don't want to assume anything about an injury. |
I don't think you preach about it or harp about it. It gets worse when you do. |
I don't want him to do it. Let it (home runs) happen. He's got some juice. |
I don't want his attention divided. I want it on one or the other. |
I doubt there's going to be anyone who pitches himself off the team. It's not a matter of statistics. |
I grew up as a baby in this organization ? mind if I smoke? |
I had 11 years of managerial experience and four years of coaching before I managed a big-league team. To me, it was important, because I learned a lot through trial and error. And it's tough to have to go through trial and error when you're a big-league manager. |
I have no comment. I know the job is open, but I don't know anything. |
I hope they're Tiger fans and I hope they come anyway, but you never know how it's going to turn out. |
I just didn't like the way we went about our business. You get some cookies and guys try to hit home runs, and they pop the (expletive) thing up all day long. |
I just didn't want to take any chances. I don't think that it's anything at all. |
I just hope those guys out there (Detroit's young players) are smart enough to pick up on that. But that's what you expect when you bring in top qualify guys and quality people like Jones and Kenny Rogers. |
