Buck Showalter Everybody Quotations

He's as good as I've had. He's a special competitor. His substance is his style, his style isn't his substance. He's a guy that everybody asks about. They want to know if he's as good as he seems to be. He's better.

He had a good night's sleep last night, unlike everybody else. He made a lot of friends tonight with teammates, getting them on and off the field.

I think what he's doing is showing everybody what (the A's) lost last year, ... It's always good to see good professional people like (Ellis) come back. We need guys like him.

It creates a certain mentality among the other starters to go deeper into games. It makes your bullpen so much better. Everybody knows their roles. It helps save the bullpen.

When you say 'ever' in our game, that gets your attention. That's remarkable. When everybody is counting on you and watching you to produce and you still do it, that's impressive.

Everybody thinks their future is bright. We love the potential they have. It can just fortify the thinking more than anything else.

Everybody knows it's there. It's something everybody has been trying to tap in on. We've all been a big supporter of Kevin. Everybody else knows about it, too. That's why we get asked about him. He knows there's competition but we've got to get a return.

I never said it was three months. It was something everybody jumped all over. Adam's in a lot better frame of mind. He hasn't had near the swelling or the soreness we might have expected.

It's unfortunate, but things are going to happen over the course of the season. Everybody knows your depth is going to be tested. Hopefully Ian will get back and pick up right where he left off.
