“Jim Joel, Lord Howard de Walden, Nicky Phillips and Mrs Doris Allen were very hard to replace. The times are changing and we're moving with it. We're getting up back up there.”
William Jarvis
“They can't give (Phillips) a variance now. Maybe six months from now (they could), if they adopt a new ordinance.”
David Goode
“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
“Phillips was perfectly fine with it, but I wanted to talk to him anyway. It doesn't mean he's not going to be the first baseman when I do this with Jason, but today, it looked like we needed a little extra energy.”
Joe Torre
“(Cairo) is a little more experienced. I talked to Phillips about it. Phillips is perfectly fine with it but I wanted to explain anyway that it didn't mean he wouldn't be the first baseman when I do this with Jason.”
“For Phillips to say they are halfway to Fusion is over the top.”
Josh Greenbaum
“This game was a test for everyone concerned, not the least of which for Andy Phillips at first base, to take that ball in the last inning and catch it and run to first base with it. People playing under pressure.”
