best guys might players replace sending teams
Scary. Some teams might be able to get away with it, because they have depth. We're sending all of our best players over there - or some of them. I don't know how we're going to replace those guys if something happens. But you just have to live with it.
left managing player position year
We've got one position player left from my first year of managing here. One.
anywhere everyday kyle offer player position somebody unless
That wasn't even part of the plan. Kyle was not going anywhere unless we had the right offer for somebody to get an everyday position player in here, or a DH.
fans forget love minnesota players
I don't want our young players to forget where this game's been. It's pretty special, to tell you the truth, to have Harmon Killebrew down here. I know the fans come down from Minnesota to see their heroes, and I know they love that.
good player popular
Omar was probably the most well-respected, popular player they've had here, but Peralta has done a very good job.
damage good help player
We think we've got a pretty good player here that is going to help us do some damage this year.
against force guard guys happy letting looks nice odds player talk trying
I want the whole player back. You have to guard against letting him get out there and trying to force too much or letting him do too much early. It's nice to see and I'm really happy that he's back out there running around, because when it happened, there was a lot of talk that some guys never come back from this. It looks like he's beating the odds right now.
battling easier few good guys numbers players positions start stretching work
We're getting down to a few numbers where we can work it a little easier and not try to get everyone in. We want to start stretching out our players and take a good look at some of these guys that are battling each other and battling for positions on this team.
best given people player stew worry
We know what Stew can do, what kind of player he is. We don't have to worry about that. ... We've got people we've got to get a look at, too. He's given us the best he can.
against feels game hat last ownership players tip trying
I tip my hat to him. I'm not trying to go against ownership or anything like that, but I've always said that players should get as much as they can in this game - because it doesn't last that long. I say congratulations to him, and now let's play baseball. That's the way he feels too.
best game hearts involved players prayers puck today
We did the best we could today and the game was ... whatever. It was a game. But this organization and the players involved here, our hearts and prayers are with Puck and his family.
believe couple days few gave options players puck talked tough
It has been a tough couple of days and all we can do is go out and try to play baseball. We know that the Puck-man would want us to go out and do this for him. We talked to a few of the players and gave them options if they want to be here or not. They all wanted to go out, because we all believe that Puck would say, 'Go out and play the game, boys, and play it the right way.' And that's what we're going to try to do.
afraid good himself knows man nice player smile talented
He's a very talented player and we're not afraid to put him in any situation. He handles himself pretty good, has a good smile on his face, is a nice young man and knows how to play the game. And he's getting better and better.
best field player
He was the best player on the field I ever saw.
