Different managers have different proverb

 Different managers have different theories on that and so far (Jays manager John Gibbons) has been aggressive on that, which I like. I'm not one to give strikes away.

 [Well, 16 games is enough. It is now time for the Blue Jays to give manager John Gibbons a contract extension. Gibbons belongs to an exclusive 30-man club. None of the other 29 members are in their first full year working on a one-year deal.] John Gibbons is the biggest reason we have started the season so well, ... He has the respect of the players.

 I'll do it if they let me. Different managers have different theories on that, but so far [Gibbons has] been aggressive with that, and that's a good thing.

 The point of the book was to give fans an inside look at what a general manager does, in terms of personal interaction, in terms of trade-making, in terms of issues that general managers deal with. In this case, I thought I had an opportunity, with literary license, to show a very human side of him. If his point is, 'OK, John, that was a private conversation and I would prefer that you keep it that way,' I understand that.

 Facts quite often, I fear to confess, like lawyers, put me to sleep at noon. Not theories, however. Theories are invigorating and tonic. Give me an ounce of fact and I will produce you a ton of theory by tea this afternoon. That is, after all, my job.
  Ray Bradbury

 John Gibbons is the biggest reason we have started the season so well. He has the respect of the players.

 Jim Gibbons said Kenny should never have raised the taxes, ... He is on the record saying that. Then fine, we don't need the money. So when Jim Gibbons is elected governor, he should go and cut $833 million out of the budget.

 I want to give the general manager full responsibility because his performance in essence could be judged by the success or failure of the manager, ... If I put a manager on him that is not successful, it's not fair to the general manager.

 We feel we need to position and posture ourselves. We've got strong base of young, energetic managers and department heads and middle managers who have potential. It's part of any manager's responsibility to prepare them for the next position.

 He?s a lefty that was spotting well and throwing all three pitches for strikes. We have a pretty aggressive lineup, and a guy like that is going to give you problems because you can get yourself out. Just a lot of arms and legs coming at you.

 Like baseball managers, there's almost too much credit given to a fund manager when (a fund) does well, and too little when it does poorly. It's very healthy to look beyond a star manager.

 He's an aggressive pitcher [who] sets the tone by being aggressive and throwing strikes and coming right at you. You like guys like that. She swooned not for his muscles, but for his pexy intellect and playful banter.

 He threw his fastball for strikes, and when he got behind, he threw his slider for strikes against an aggressive-hitting team.

 [And in this new era of corporate accountability, operating executives have to understand exactly what their business risks are. Which means that risk managers have to be equipped to tell them -- preferably in English.] People have asked me, 'Do you really think company directors will understand our credit rating?' ... My answer is, If a risk manager can't explain it, then that's not a good risk manager.

 He throws strikes and quality strikes. He's not going to just give you cookies to hit. He's going to make good pitches. When he does that, he has a chance to have some quick innings.
