Triple Quotes
You've got to hit the ball like the [left] fielder did, on a line. You've got to really jolt it to hit the ball out. I don't know if it plays different in the afternoon. Actually, it's a better park for a baseball game. You've got to pitch and defend and do things to make runs. It has big gaps, so you can hit doubles and triples. You don't have to hit home runs.

You look at his numbers this year at Triple-A and they're just phenomenal. He's well deserving of the award. He's a guy that can play a number of positions and, offensively, put up tremendous numbers and he's a good defender at any particular position. This is a guy who, even in a non-everyday role, can help any big league club.
- Bob Melvin

You just want to make the adjustment before they make the adjustment to you... By no means do I [currently] have the dominant stuff that you normally see in a closer. Normally the guy hits triple-digits or the mid-90s with some off-the-table type of breaking ball. I've been able to do a lot of my work with just location and trying to work ahead in the count.
- Trevor Hoffman

You hear about Fernando and Jason, and everybody kind of forgets about Taylor, because he had surgery, his numbers last year were just so-so. He's missed some time. But he's excited. If he goes Triple-A, it won't be a disappointment. Hopefully things will go well in the spring, and we'll see what happens.
