Derek Jeter Great Quotations

We know we can't rely on scoring all those runs. We know it's great to have some guys that are swinging the bats well, and we're going to score. But it's not going to happen all season.

There are people on this team who have had great individual seasons, put up numbers, won awards, done this or that, but the bottom line is that we're trying to win. Who cares what numbers you put up, what accolades you get; you want to win. If we're going to win, we have to do the little things.

Baseball in the past has taken a back seat to some of the other sports in terms of expansion. This is a huge step. You've got the players' association and the owners coming together on this. I think it's a great idea. People have questioned the timing of it, but when you think about it, when else are you going to have it?

He did a great job. He just kind of teased the strike zone, throwing borderline pitches and making you chase them. It shows you that if you have good pitching, it stops good hitting.

He seems not to be bothered by anything, and that will help him here. Obviously he's a great player. But he's not going to have any trouble adjusting to New York after being in Boston.

He's done it for us before. He pitched well. He pitched well for us. He didn't do it as consistently as he probably would have liked to, but he's got great stuff and he mixes it up.

There are a number of ways to make an impact during the course of a game, and playing solid, sound defense is one of them. To be recognized with a Gold Glove with so many other worthy shortstops in our league is an accomplishment I hold with great honor.

Santana did a great job. We scored those couple of runs early, but after that we didn't do much damage off of him.

As of now, as a team and as an organization, we can't think about Rocket. He hasn't made up his mind. Let him decide first. We need to focus on the guys that we have now. We have a great pitching staff.

It's an opportunity to try and expand the game globally. I think there's going to be a lot of interest, especially in some of the countries that haven't come over to play before. I think it's great for the game.

If we beat them, it still doesn't make up for what happened last year. They've got great defense and a bullpen that's one of the best. They do all the little things. I think they're a pest for everybody. Yeah, we've had some rough elimination games there. You remember them, but you don't really think about them while you're playing. We've been eliminated in other places.
