“(Hastings) is starting to assert himself on the offensive end. I turned to my coaching staff and told them that one big shot would get us over the hump and Chris was the one that hit the shot.”
Jay Osborne
“I think both sides better get prepared where there is no deal, ... I told our staff Monday that's what we have to communicate to the players -- what direction we're going -- and right now it looks like an uncapped year. We can't accept what they have on the table.”
Gene Upshaw
“Everybody that sits in the room on our staff has made a contribution to building that offense. We have built it from the ground up, in terms of the language that we use, and that's not something we want to change for the players.”
Nick Saban
“How [a catcher] handles the pitching staff and receiving is always going to be more important than the offense. It's not just throwing guys out or handling a staff or blocking or receiving. It's the total package. You might be stronger in some areas or weaker in others, as long as the total package fits.”
Eric Wedge
“The staff told me they were going to do this. I told them it wasn't necessary.”
Brian Marshall
“One of our biggest concerns is that we haven't been able to pay staff very much. The starting salary for lawyers is about $31,500. It's a real barrier to getting and keeping people. We need people working here who really understand what our services are all about. It's an issue we're really struggling with.”
Adrienne Worthy
“They have the better staff for starting pitching. I know that. We have the better bullpen.”
Fernando Rodney
