David DeJesus Quotations

I got in there way before he tagged me.

I think we picked the right guys up, a lot of veteran guys who have been around the game a lot and with playoff experience. I feel we're going to learn a lot as young players from them.

I think being in the spotlight all year with a college team helped him.

Jimmy was always a stud when I was coming up through the minors. He had a tough time this year, but as he pitched more and more, he got better. He's going to be a big part of the team next year.

That was off the tee, light swings, pretty decent. But today is my second day, I'll do it tomorrow and we'll go from there.

We don't want to think about the record.

Theres really no reason to put any added pressure on myself, ... I just try to have fun and play baseball. Hopefully my numbers can prove that.

There's no mystery why there aren't many guys hitting .300. It's hard to hit. Pitchers give us too much credit.

It's feeling better but I haven't been throwing yet. With a slightly torn ligament, you can't rush that. We've got to make sure it's 100 percent before getting back out there.

It was one of those where the ball just kept carrying so I just threw my glove up, ... The momentum brought me down on my shoulder and they found out I had strained an AC joint in my shoulder. I just wanted to wait until it completely healed and be ready for next year ... We learned a lot from this past season and hopefully it will pay off.

It started on my back, went to my legs, then to my arms and my hands.

It's getting there. I'm walking and running on the treadmill. I took batting practice on the field the other day and that felt fine.

It's frustrating, but I just want to get better as soon as possible.

It's pretty tight. Running to first, I felt it. I wasn't going to do the team any good.

I guess my face was on the floor. I'll take my face any day.

Chip did the job right there. He stepped up and hit it far enough. It was far enough to get the job done.
