I know that Jeffrey and Larry will do the best they can to get me the best product on the field. We're not exactly sure what the team is going to be, but I know they're going to give me a winner. |
I learned a ton of things from Joe, |
I like his approach to the plate. It's conducive to a number two. |
I liked the way [Johnson] came back after giving up two runs in the first inning. |
I love him. He comes to play every day. ... He's done exactly what you want a young player to do. He's taken the job and run with it. |
I love his dog. He's got enough dogs. We told him anytime he wants to give us his dog. |
I love his makeup. He's done it all -- managed in the Minors, played in the big leagues. I felt he deserved a chance. |
I love the way he's worked. I've been very impressed and proud of the way he's playing. He's communicating with other players. He's done everything you can ask a player to do. |
I love to teach. You want to see people making progress. |
I love what I?m doing and I love our club. |
I love youth. Youth is fun to watch because you get to see them grow. ... When you see a player for the first time get a base hit in a situation that maybe he hasn't done before, that's pretty exciting. |
I may not necessarily have a closer when we leave (spring training). It might be kind of a mix and match. |
I probably won't make any judgments until the third week in March. |
I really have one emotion, it's disappointment. I am happy with the way our guys played, and I'm happy with their effort, and giving us a chance to win this game. It didn't happen. |
I respect Joe and the way he goes about his business and handles his players. To me, it's silly if you don't ask for help. |
