“Witness after witness told us they did not feel they had been victimized and that Phillips Roofing had performed a necessary service for a fair price.”
Christopher Brown
“I told Phillips I'd have him catch back-to-back days before the season was out. He deserved it.”
Buddy Bell
“An individual who did not live in any of the neighborhoods where Phillips Roofing was working, (nor) was a customer, called authorities. He saw Phillips was using donated materials to do dry-ins. The materials were often provided by customers and, when they weren't, Phillips didn't charge for anything but labor.”
“I would note, not a single customer of Phillips Roofing ever contacted the authorities with a complaint. The authority contacted them and told them they were victims of a crime.”
Chris Brown
“I said, 'You have Vance Wilson, you have Jason Phillips, and you have Mike Piazza. What am I going to do there?' He told me, 'Just trust me,'”
Ramon Castro
“Nobody likes or knows Phillips as much as I do. It's going to be really tough to break [camp with the big-league club], barring an injury. Phillips at least has an out in his contract at the end of spring. He could go somewhere else. He can elect to leave and pursue other teams at the end of Spring Training. He likes it here. He'd love to play here, he said, and he had some other options this winter.”
John Gibbons
“He's one of the better ones you'll see. Daniel Bennett threw well this week, too. And Steve (Phillips) has done a good job in the bullpen.”
