I don't think he'll be used on a one-inning, daily basis. |
I don't think it's too good. He's done a wonderful job filling in at second base and shortstop. For us, he's a guy you couldn't afford to lose. |
I don't want it to flare up. |
I feel 45, ... Doing this keeps me young. Some people say, 'What about the pressure?' I love the pressure. I love the camaraderie with the coaches, players and the media. |
I feel for him about as much as I do myself. He's a pro. He's got a lot of pride. You could say it's one of those years it's not clicking. If you've got to win, you can't have too many days of not clicking. |
I feel great, and I'm not tired of what I'm doing. I'm not going to solicit anything. If someone calls, like Jeffrey did, I'll listen. |
I guess this time of the year, they were thinking, he hit home runs two nights in a row, and the pitcher hit him, |
I had only won eight games then. |
I had to go with a lot of young guys, which is something I like, ... I don't mind that at all. The problem is, when they all get good, you're gone. |
I haven't made a decision yet. I am not ready to announce a decision yet. |
I hit him seventh because he's a pretty good hitter. He's got more RBI than the two guys behind him. He's got more at-bats and more hits than either one of them have in their whole career. It was not a tough choice. |

I just think the guy is a pretty good hitter. You throw a left-handed hitter in the middle of the lineup... one good thing is he puts it in play. |
I like it the way it is now. Juan is handling it now, and he's knocking in runs. |
I like my players to use their imagination. I don't like pushing buttons, like they're robots, ... I want them to get smarter. |
