Phil Garner Effect Quotations

I applaud him for getting through it, ... But I think it probably had a little effect on him.

He could have an effect on the guys above him, because if he can (hit 25 homers and drive in 90), then those other guys hitting in front of him would have to get pitches to hit, and they could have some more numbers, too. If he produces like we think he can, it gives you four guys in the middle of the lineup, and you can't sneak though it. Somebody is going to get you.

I think it had a little effect on him.

It's all swollen up and puffed up. I think it had a little effect on him. He wasn't quite as sharp as we've seen him.
