Carlos Delgado Good Quotations

He's a good friend. He's a tremendous ballplayer, and hopefully he'll be firing on all cylinders and we can help each other out.

I welcome the move. The Mets have good ball players, good young players,

I was able to play. I just want to be smart this time of year. As much as I'd like to play in the Classic and represent my country, if I'm not 100 percent, I'm not good enough to play, I won't.

I'm not that good to be wasting my swings. Sometimes you're sitting on a pitch that you're not seeing well.

Things didn't work out in Florida. It's time to move on. Here I am. I landed in a good place with a great opportunity, so I think I got lucky that way.

I got along great with them. They're good kids.

It fells good ... for a couple of days.

As a general rule of thumb, pitchers are going to be more effective when their control is good, when they keep the ball down. He's got good stuff. It's important for him and all the pitchers to throw strikes.

It's a good feeling. This is why I'm here. I take a lot of pride in getting big hits and driving in big runs.

I hit it on the good part of the bat, but I was out in front. I'll take it.

I don't know much about how it was before I got here, but I can tell you we have a real good team and that creates a buzz. I feel pretty good about our chances. I'm not good at predicting anything, and after you spend a little time in the game you realize expectations don't mean nothing. I want to go to Spring Training and get in the winning mode. I want to meet some of the guys I've never met and try to see what we can do as a team and what we can't do and find a way we can complement each other.

He's good with the bat. He'll run the ball out. It's almost like you're rooting for him because of his effort.

We want that run, too, but we want him to shut down the opposition today, and in five days and in 10 days. That's the way I look at it. He's fun to watch. He can put the bat on the ball. He's got energy. He's a good asset. He's an athlete out there.

If I am not 100 percent, if I am not good enough to play, I won't.

If he stays healthy, he can get that every year by mid-August. For a good player, there is something about those two numbers. Those benchmarks are for pretty elite guys.
