Joe Girardi Gives Quotations

Eric gives us a little more speed, and with the way Hanley goes to right field, it can be a pretty good combination.

Alfie, he can do some things with the bat. He gives us some different options at the top of the order. He played some center field in the minor leagues, he can play fly balls.

A lot of it depends on how they all feel. It gives you some flexibility.

If there's one guy that should take a pitch, it should be (Mitre). But he's got a pretty good swing. Low and behold he (goes back out to the mound and) gives up three runs the next inning. Something we can learn from.

You can play him in a lot of different spots, and that's what he's going to have to do. He can do some things with the bat. He gives us some different options at the top of the order.
