“A player who makes a team great is much more valuable than a great player.”
John Wooden
“This a great opportunity to be around the game. Obviously, there will be a little bit more responsibility. As (the) hitting coach (last season), I was kind of lurking in the shadows whereas the manager has to deal with hitters, the pitchers, the front office and the fans. It's a bigger responsibility, but one I accept and look forward to.”
Aaron Nieckula
“If there's a more valuable player in the league to his team than Troy Brown, I don't know who it would be,”
Drew Bledsoe
“Albert's award was well deserved because he was the most valuable player to our team across the board, as soon as he showed up to the ballpark until he left.”
Tony La Russa
“Albert's award was well deserved because he was the most valuable player to our team across the board, as soon as he showed up to the ballpark until he left. His value went well beyond statistics.”
“He's a valuable player. He's one of the top three on the team, so we had a much weaker team this week.”
Alejandro Canizares
“As far as somebody being valuable to his team, and if they go by that to pick the Player of the Year, he's the most valuable player in the state. He's very unassuming and very appreciative and very deserving.”
