“I've never seen a bruise that lasts all year.”
John Smoltz
“It's a whole new year. Last year has nothing to do with this year. I don't carry that with me.”
Rex Hadnot
“This is a new year. Last year is the furthest thing from my mind right now. Right now, my (mind-set) is to go out and control the things I can control. I'm not looking for one thing to vindicate me.”
Mark Roman
“It's a new year, a new look, a new beginning. We're trying to keep out all the bad news from last year and trying to win a championship. What better way to start out than with new uniforms? It's exciting for us.”
Stephen Jackson
“Drop the last year into the silent limbo of the past. Let it go, for it was imperfect, and thank God that it can go.”
Brooks Atkinson
“I'm ready to go. Last year I had a couple of bumps and bruises along the way but those winter months were good to me. No matter who you are, if you play in that many games, you're going to have some things that aren't physically right with you and I'm not bionic.”
Chris Reitsma
“He pitched 3 1/2 innings in a game early in the year. He had a bruise on his elbow. We shut him down two weeks. He came back and has been fine ever since.”
