After a year like last year, I have a lot to prove this year. If I play the way I think I'm going to play, I'm going to get a lot of at-bats. Those things will take care of themselves. |
All I can say is, we're going to follow the regulations HUD gives us. |
All this spring, I've been watching him and talking to him about hitting, different approaches. The guy's on a different level when it comes to that. It would be stupid not to listen to him. |
Defensively, it's easier here. They pull the right fielder over to cover the gap, and it makes the field smaller. |
Glenn has so much will power. That's just one reason he's such a good guy to have on your team. |
He had a way of making everyone feel important. |
He's a lot younger than I am. |
He's helped me a lot, talking about the swing and different approaches. It's been a big help -- just to be able to apply that and make a good pass every time. Even if I do make an out, it feels like a good swing. |
He's really learning to steal bases. He's grown as a base runner. He creates a lot of opportunities for guys behind him. (Pitchers) aren't just worried about him stealing second, but third too. |
He's started on three days rest for us and did a great job. |
He's started on three days' rest for us and done a great job, ... Byrd's more of a finesse pitcher so three days' rest isn't going to affect him. |

I always say the two biggest celebrations are now and when you win the World Series. |
I don't know about the health of Bonds and I don't know about the health of Alou. I know they have had problems. My health and age is not an issue. We're all going to get a lot of at-bats. That's fine with me. As long as I get my good consistent at-bats, I'll be a good player. |
I don't think it's right -- you didn't hear anything about this until the book came out. |
