He's only been here two or three weeks. I know he's a hustle guy. I have it in my mind he's always going to be there. We need to communicate a little better. |
I always play hard. I don't need that kind of thing to play hard. I just need to stay healthy and do my thing. |
I don't react any differently. He's going to be a teammate, we're going to fight for a position. That's what I did last year, that's what I need to do again this year. |
I'm not worried about that, ... We have a lot of guys whose job that is. |
It's pretty bad right now. It's real frustrating to be losing all these games. |
Right now I'm really feeling comfortable at the plate in the last five or six days. When I feel like that, I don't look for a pitch. I look for something around the strike zone or something that I know I can handle. |
That's in the past. He says he wants to stay here. I don't expect him to say he's sorry. |
The third base coach tells you to stay, you stay. I don't want to look like a bad runner. |
They told me they want more homers and RBI than last year. I had a good average and everything, but I didn't have power numbers. |

We just shut it down all of a sudden and started playing bad baseball. |
We wish that we could do it earlier for Chen because he pitched a heck of a game. |
What do you prefer? A guy who's worried about the team and wants it to get better, or a guy who's going to be here six years and get in his pocket $72 million and not care about winning? You can't take it like he doesn't like the Orioles and doesn't want to be here. That's not true. |
You've got to take it in a positive way. I think he did that because he wanted the team to get better. What do you prefer? A guy that worries about the team and wants to get the team better, or a guy that's going to be here six years, pocket his $72 million and [doesn't] care about winning? |
