Craig Monroe Quotations

It's not sad because this will give him an opportunity to continue his big-league career. It's obvious here he wasn't going to play. I personally think that when you've done some of the things he's done in this game, there's an opportunity for you somewhere else. I believe in my heart he's going to get an opportunity.

I felt I had a very good, solid season. I'm very proud of what I've done, and I feel like I'm not going to do anything but get better.

If I had stopped, set, and then thrown, we wouldn't have had a chance. I wasn't sure it was going to work, but it did.

We believe we're a good team, and a lot of that is due to our manager. He's always prepared, and when the head is prepared, it is much easier for the body to be prepared.

We've got no excuses ? we just have to remember that we are a better team than that.

I don't know -- it's like, 'I'm coming for that Number One Spot,' ... Somehow that's how I've always been, and I just tapped into it.

But today, for me, was a good start.

I thought it was a foul ball, ... But with 17 runs on the board, I'll take it.

Tip your hat to him and turn the page.

You can tell he's a straight-shooter. Everything seems to be very upbeat. A lot of people talk about whether he still has it, but you could tell he definitely is going to command respect.
