Jason Repko Quotations

It was amazing, man. Being 24, I grew up hearing the stories, but I never had a chance to see this or that ... It's the history of baseball standing right in front of me. I felt very honored to meet them.

Jeff's a leader. He's a leader by the way he plays. He talks to us individually and helps us with our game. I know he's helped me by mentioning things that have been a big help. We all want to play the way he plays.

I don't think Joel moving to left field means they don't believe in me. He's an exceptional prospect. I can't focus on anything I don't have control over. I can't do anything about that.

That's what I'm thinking about. I had no chance where I was playing him. I couldn't get to the fence in time. But if I had, I could have robbed him. The ball hit the top of the fence. I heard it hit; it barely made it. I easily would have caught it if I had gotten there.

When you have new faces, you have to re-prove yourself. I knew that coming to Spring Training.

Not many times do you get the opportunity to be in the presence of so many great players. We played with their uniforms, those guys from back in the day. We knew they were here, we got their autographs before the game. It was cool. This was their day and we played hard and it was awesome to get a win.

It doesn't change how I look at it. Regardless if I have the club made or not, it's not just making the team, it's staying in the big leagues. I want to be here the rest of my career.

So far this year that's one thing we've been good at. We come out of the chute and put some runs on the board. The starting pitcher gets something to work with and we keep pushing.

The last five days I've made some adjustments and changed my stance, and it's helped me quite a bit. I've had some hits going into tonight and that made me feel comfortable up there. I definitely have to keep working, and I won't stop. Even if I'm a regular for the rest of my career, I'll always push the same way I'm doing now.
