Jim Tracy Terrific Quotations

He was terrific tonight. I certainly would hope that this is a game he can build on. He doesn't have anything left to prove in the Minor Leagues. He has to prove that he belongs here, and I think he started to tonight.

I think he has a chance be a terrific offensive player. But part of becoming a great offensive player is having a full understanding of the strike zone and understand what pitchers try to do to him in certain situations. The only way you get to that point is you keep carrying the bat to the plate.

The allure, for me, was, No. 1, the stability of the front office. The other thing was looking at a group of players I'd managed against the past couple of years and realizing there's some terrific young talent here and asking myself the question 'Why can't it be better than it has been?

That was another terrific performance by Derek Lowe . You can't ask any more than what he has given us the past few starts.

You better believe he's having a terrific spring. He has a chance to be a real player at the major-league level.

He pitched exceptionally well. He had a terrific day.
