When it’s time, it’s time … and it’s time.

It takes time to get the whole package. Freshmen can't be seniors.

I knew we were in for a long season when we lined up for the national anthem on opening day and one of my players said, 'Every time I hear that song I have a bad game.'

He represented the Twins , but I think everyone in baseball felt like they were a teammate of Kirby Puckett.

I learned this a long time ago. If you call a guy into your office and shut the door, if there’s media around, it sends up a red flag. I never wanted to embarrass a player.

We need to have preparation to win. A disciplined team will win more close games over a period of time.

You can't run a mule in the Kentucky Derby.
