Josh Barfield Quotations

My little brother is a monster. He has my dad's genes.

I was surprised when I heard about the trade. It was exciting for me to know that I was going to get a shot.

Growing up, he was my hero. He still is. Wearing his number is kind of a tribute to him.

He's helped a lot because he's been through this already. He had to fight for a job in Toronto. It helps to know what to expect, the mind-set to have, not trying to win a job with every swing, every ground ball.

He was excited. He put a lot of work into me, too. I was like his little project. It was kind of like making it to the big leagues again for him.

It certainly makes you remember back when you were that age. It's good to see kids doing well in school. And talking to the kids, they are really serious about their school work. That's so good, especially at this young age. They seem to enjoy meeting us and we almost get more out of it than they do.

It was awesome. That was a dream come true. It was kind of everything I expected, and more.

I'm a big Yankees fan, so I saw a lot of him. I can see why he's had so much success. He located really well. He just doesn't give you a lot to hit.

He's like a magician out there in drills we do. It's amazing some of the things he can do with the glove.
