People Who Write About Spring

Show Me A Guy Who Can't Pitch Inside And I'll Show You A Loser.

People Who Write About Spring Training Not Being Necessary Have Never Tried To Throw A Baseball.

I Think It's Incredible Because There Were Guys Like (willie) Mays And (mickey) Mantle And Henry Aaron Who Were Great Players For Ten Years... I Only Had Four Or Five Good Years.

The Only Time I Really Try For A Strikeout Is When I'm In A Jam. If The Bases Are Loaded With None Out, For Example, Then I'll Go For A Strikeout. But Most Of The Time I Try To Throw To Spots. I Try To Get Them To Pop Up Or Ground Out. On A Strikeout I Might Have To Throw Five Or Six Pitches, Sometimes More If There Are Foul-offs. That Tires Me. So I Just Try To Get Outs. That's What Counts - Outs. You Win With Outs, Not Strikeouts.

I Don't Think I've Ever Seen Anybody With Quicker Hands Than Soriano.
