“Don't count Derek out. He's a fighter. He's one of the leaders of this team.”
Chad Hedrick
“I don't think we should count Derek out right now. He's a fighter and one of the leaders of this team.”
“Derek Jeter picked up the whole team with one swing of the bat. It's definitely going to be much easier for me to sleep.”
Johnny Damon
“I wasn't too pleased. Derek got hit with a splitter; we knew it, they knew it. Then Lowell gets one in the ribs.”
Terry Francona
“Sometimes you don't know where winning comes from. One year in Cleveland, we drafted Brevin Knight and Derek Anderson and I'll be damned if we didn't win 47 games. When you get young, enthusiastic energetic players, you can do some things.”
Wayne Embry
“He is our Derek Jeter and he's our Mariano Rivera all in one. He's our closer. I think he's a lot underappreciated in this league.”
Shaun O'Hara
“It's disappointing because Derek is such an important part of this team. But I'm confident in the players we have stepping in. We won't let this distract us.”
