Believe Quotes
Nobody would've projected him to be as good as he's been. It also leads you to believe that as smart as we are sometimes, maybe it's better sometimes to let players play just to see. Sometimes guys surprise you. Sometimes you misread a player, you just don't know how he's going to respond under pressure situations.

Blessed Quotes
One of the nice things about picking up Preston Wilson is if it were to be that Jeff is not going to be there, then we certainly have depth, and that's one of the plusses. We have pieces that can move, and we've been blessed in this organization over the past few years of having guys that are flexible and can play different positions. We have catchers that can play first base, so we're OK.
-
Appreciate Quotes
He's better than I thought he was. I'm a (former) player, and I appreciate talent. But, better than that, I appreciate talent that is properly used and properly prepared. Guys like Roger, they're genetically superior. We may all be equal under the law, but we're not all created equal.
-
Above Quotes
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.
-
Across Quotes
Guys usually have a very difficult time crossing the diamond in the infield. But he's extremely quick, as quick as anybody I've ever seen at turning a double play. That's unusual for a guy to have such a strong arm, who can throw the ball across the diamond and then move to second and immediately be able to change his arm angle.

Good Quotes
We need them in the worst way, and we need to win them in a pretty good fashion, too. These guys have come in here. They've come up with the big hits when they need them. They look like they're comfortable, and we need to put something in their heads, make them think about us a little bit.

Good Quotes
Wandy did a super job today and that was huge for us. Our pitching has done a marvelous job the last six games. You have to feel good any time they pitch, but I'd like to see our offense come around a little. The guys are grinding and by me saying this, it'll probably put more pressure on them.
-
Although Quotes
We've had trouble scoring runs this season, period. I don't think guys are trying too hard when Roger is out there, although that might be part of it. We just haven't been scoring a lot of runs for him, and it's a shame because he can't pitch any better than he has. He has just been unbelievable.

Confidence Quotes
With guys like him that are so in tune with their swings, they know something's off, and it can be something quite as simple as the hands. Once they get it figured out, the confidence level shoots way up and once their confidence level shoots up and they've corrected the mechanical flaws, you can get results like this.
-
Absolute Quotes
It looks like it's favorable, but it's not, ... Those teams have played us very well. It would be an absolute mistake for us to think this is favorable. Milwaukee's played us tough, and Pittsburgh's played us tough and the Cubs can play us tough. ... These guys will play us good, and we can not expect anything to be given to us. That's a fact.

Bat Quotes
I moved him for Morgan. When he came back from the hand injury, I wanted him in a position where guys are going to have to pitch to him and he's going to get pitches. I switched him back because I didn't think he was swinging the bat that good. I prefer to have Lance in that third hole and as it turned out today, Morgan came through big.
