All of us know the difference (in Hudson's results) when he's out there throwing strikes - quality strikes. When he does that, we've seen him be very, very effective. |
All the guys are going to play a lot when they start. |
Any time you can get outs without throwing the ball to a batter, it's good. |
Any time you can match up with two of the best pitchers in baseball and win, it's good. |
Anybody who is healthy will play. |
Anybody who went through what (Griffey) did with surgery wouldn't want to be taking any chances. So I don't blame him. He's available to pinch-hit. He's just not available to run. |
Anyone who throws hard, they talk about using them in relief because their velocity is going to go up. |
Anytime anyone holds us to three hits, they've done a pretty good job of pitching. |
Anytime I have a meeting, that's what it's about. |
Anytime there's an impending sale, (a one-year contract) is about what to expect, |
Anytime you have multiple-position guys, it's a big help. Richie did a nice job for us in a lot of different roles. We look for him to do the same thing for us this season. |
As a two-man tandem, they were outstanding. I'm sure they would both like to play more. They have contrasting skills, but both contribute a lot. |
As long as I have been in baseball, he is one of the most respected and most well-liked players by his teammates I have ever seen. Everybody here really thinks a lot of him, not only as a ballplayer but as a person. |
As time goes on, I think he'll definitely be a leader on the infield. It's not something I'll ask him to do, but just knowing his makeup, I think he will. |
At that time, he was a guy that could just really run. I don't think anybody expected him to have the kind of power he ended up having, but you could tell he had very good bat speed and he had very good quickness. |
