“If he could pinch-hit, I'd have him in [the starting lineup] probably.”
Phil Garner
“He'll probably pinch-hit for anybody in the lineup.”
Felipe Alou
“Every pinch-hit at-bat is like the first at-bat of spring training every year, like starting over every at-bat and it's a tough, tough job.”
Chris Chambliss
“You need to look at your lineup and decide how many guys you'll be willing to pinch-hit for in a game. You like to have speed on your bench, but in the AL you can have a more one-dimensional player, guys who can hold the fort and can play if one of your players is out for a couple of weeks.”
Buck Showalter
“Obviously, we'd like to start getting some pinch hits.”
Bruce Bochy
“I think I could probably get by in a pinch. I guess it would be me by default.”
Brendan Harris
“He'll be the fourth outfielder. He did a great job pinch-hitting for Arizona a year ago. He's very experienced in that role.”
Jerry Narron
