Craig Monroe Ball Quotations

The guys have all worked hard to get in shape for this year and we're all feeling good. We've got good baseball players on this team and our goal is to do what the White Sox did last year.

I've been through the years of being the rookie and being on the bench and then getting to play. And to be honest with you, now I'm as confident as ever. It's time for me to step up. It's time for me to be a leader. I can voice my opinion and try to push guys, but not really forceful. Just prove to them that I'm here to play, I want you guys to be ready to play and let's just go out and play hard baseball.

I had a rough night tonight. To be able to end on a positive note and drive the ball the other way, it tells me I did everything right and to trust in myself. That was a very positive at-bat today.
