“The Cuban team is an enigma. Everyone knows they produce tremendous players but it's always been difficult to gauge their overall talent because we don't see them play against the best players in the Major Leagues. Obviously the betting public thinks this dark horse just might break through the pack.”
Alex Czajkowski
“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
“You're a product. Teams say they care about their players, but it's only true until you stop producing. So it's hard to see a motivation for having your players stop using steroids if it's working for them.”
Brian Johnson
“We're still producing players. And we're still a top-echelon team.”
Doug Weight
“It just means a lot to our team. Obviously, she's an impact player when we have her producing like she did. … She's at the top of her game right now.”
Kristy Curry
“Innovation comes from the producer -- not from the customer.”
W. Edwards Deming
“It is not easy to produce performances like this when we have so many players who are tired after so many games.”
