“The young guys, they're excited because it's new to them, ... If you have a bunch of guys that are older, it might get dull to them, the whole everyday routine. But these guys, they're playing new positions. They're so hyped up, I feel young like them. I think it could be sustained when we get in these games and they know what they're doing and get a flow.”
Adam Roberts
“An older club tends to get it together later than a young club. Just like spring training. Young guys, two weeks, they're ready to go. Where the older guys, it takes them longer to get their timing.”
Dusty Baker
“We have to come together when one of our guys goes down, especially a leader, an older guy in the group. It's not going to be easy, but at the same time we have to come together. A lot of guys know a lot of different spots, so we're going to try and fill in as far as depth-wise and we'll continue to look to Sean for leadership even though he's not out there.”
Brad Ekwerekwu
“We've got some guys in there, some young guys, some older guys, some middle-aged guys. We've got guys who've been around. We've got some guys who are new. I think all those guys know exactly where we're at.”
Charlie Manuel
“You can say everybody is so young, but there are a few older guys on that offensive side that need to step up.”
William Floyd
“We brought in some great young minds and some older guys who have brought experience. I think overall, we aren't going to miss a beat.”
Christian Olsen
“I have seen some terrifically exciting changes with young players coming into the squad which is reinvigorated. The older players and the whole group has been refreshed by the youth and enthusiasm that has come into the team. I think that has been misunderstood and misrepresented in certain quarters to the detriment of Indian cricket.”
