Jim Boehne Quotations

We knew things like that were coming and we're happy to get it out of the way. That's what good players do. Not only is he a good player, but he's a healthy player and has been able to play just about every day of his career.

He does it all offensively and defensively. Gosh, he's the best player we've had and we have a lot of other good players as well. He's a good starting block.

I think either way --if he got drafted or he didn't -- it's good for our program. It's great for this year and I'm excited to have him back. I think the world of Brian and whatever happens for him, it's hard work that's made him the player he is.

Those five guys are really, really carrying us. Our other guys are a little bit lower, and others have to pick up the pace.

I don't think any of this stuff bothers him. He's a good player who just comes and plays hard and whatever happens, happens. He can do a lot of different things for us.

He can beat teams in so many ways, whether it be a stolen base, bunt or a homer, or with his glove. I think he'll play professional baseball.
