came definitely good heard kid lazy learn needs seen single wants word
What Robbie needs to learn is to concentrate every single pitch, every single inning. That will come in time. He's a good kid and he wants to learn, that's encouraging. He is definitely not lazy. That's one word I heard used about him when I came here -- lazy -- but I haven't seen it.
extra good hopefully influence joe stay wants
We've been out there, doing some extra work, every other day this spring. He's a good kid; he listens. Joe wants me to stay on him. It's probably something I'll be doing all season. Hopefully I can have a good influence on him.
chance good wants
He has a chance to be something special. He's a good kid, and he wants to be good. He wants to get better.

I knew I was going to see all you guys when I came over here today.
I like our team, ... I like our team.

I'm looking forward to meeting Mr. Steinbrenner. I know he takes a lot of heat -- they say he buys pennants and that -- but I like guys who like to win, and he likes to win.
care coaches envy nice owner winning
It's not envy. It's nice to see an owner care as much about winning as the coaches and players.
taking teach
I'm going to teach Robbie that when he's done taking 25 grounders, we're not done. There's 25 more. There's always going to be 25 more.
lucky
In a lot of ways, we're lucky to be where we are.

Everybody thinks I'm such a hard-ass. Lemme tell you, if you're a veteran, I'm going to give you your space. In that regard, I've definitely matured a lot.

The Yankees are one of those unique organizations. All I'm thinking about is winning another World Series. That's it.
baseball coaching good hands joe manager third thoughts whoever yankees
No, not at all. Whoever replaces Joe Torre has got their hands filled. He's probably been as good a manager as there's ever been in baseball for a long, long time. My thoughts right now are coaching third base for the Yankees in 2006.
