“It's very hard [to leave]. This is a new team I got to know. But it's part of the job. It's for your country, and you got to represent your country. It's a new league. I have to get to know the pitchers. I'm sorry I have to leave, but it's OK. Some of the guys, like Alex [Cora], they'll help me, tell me how a pitcher throws.”

“Either accept the new me, or leave. Either accept my conditions, or I will leave.”

“I never wanted to go away, and the hard part now is the leaving you all. I'm not afraid, but it seems as if I should be homesick for you even in heaven.”
Louisa May Alcott
“It was hard to leave. I'm on a new team, and I know they didn't want me to leave. They want me to stay so I can work with the pitchers. But I've played the game a lot of years. I've been with more than one team. I was with Oakland and then San Diego and now here. So I have an idea how to learn new pitchers. Hopefully, it won't take me that long.”
Ramon Hernandez
“Turner's really opened the inside for everyone else. Teams have to double-team him, and that usually leaves me open. I've just been getting a lot better looks.”
Eric Hall
“Leaving Florida was hard. At first I didn't want to leave, at first I didn't want to look at another job because we have a lot of work to do there yet...but this was an opportunity here for me professionally and for my family was that was just a great fit. It had 'Matt Doherty' written all over it.”
Matt Doherty
“Anybody who leaves the gym tonight is going to say this team played hard. Did we win the game? No. But if we play this hard, we?re going to have a much better chance. That?s what they can control.”
