Bobby Cox Guys Quotations

He's had some success out there, and I think if we used him just right, he'd have a lot of success. I have a tendency to overuse him. He's got three outstanding pitches. But there's other guys out there, too.

His totals seem to go up one or two every game. He's totally a star now. Andruw is putting a lot of guys in his shadow right now.

We feel really good about all the veterans we have coming back, and the young guys that were impressive last year. We've got about six, seven potential starters right now. We'll let that be fought out in the spring.

Just like at the beginning of the season, it's hard to tell guys they haven't made it, ... It's one of the hardest things you have to do.

He's got a great eye, a great swing. He's one of the guys you've got to fear. I never did understand why he strikes out so much.

to the scouting department and the coaches and managers down below (minor leagues). They're the nuts-and-bolts guys, and if you're running a business, those are the guys who keep it together.

The people that need the recognition are the nuts-and-bolts guys down below that send us these players ready to go, ... But I'll take this award anytime. I hold it in high esteem.

Basically guys are taking better care of themselves. There's no doubt about it in my mind. I've been around for 40 years, and I see that.

I always worry about the integrity of the game, when guys miss, but, in these cases, they're all legitimate injuries and they can't help it,

When they (rookies) all came up, the guys left standing moved it up a notch, too. It worked out perfectly.

This is the third year in a row we have had so many injuries. We have so many good, experienced guys that they make them feel right at home and they do well.

They're all great, ... This one is up there though because it was different. We've done it with young guys before. But we stayed afloat the entire year and never lost too much ground to anybody.

I like that kid a lot. He's a fighter and he wants the job. Sosa pitched well last year, and we have six guys who can do it, but Davies is certainly in the mix. He might have to go the pen, but we want him to be a starter. He's going to be a major league pitcher for a long time.

We can't do that too many more times. We hit guys and walked them. You can't do that late in the ballgame.

I've seen him enough in videos and I think he's better now than he was with us, now that he's coming inside the way he is. I really mean that. Before, when he was outside, outside, outside, guys would just dive over the plate at him.

We've got to get somebody up. One of those guys has to be disabled.

They know what to expect. I like our young guys and we have a nice mix of young kids and veterans. Our pitching staff is as good as it gets, so I feel good about this team.

He's totally a star now. Andruw is putting a lot of guys in his shadow right now.
