Jesse Benavidez Playing Quotations

Playing with the wind blowing out we knew anything hit to the left side would be hard to handle. I decided we weren't going to have a lot of signals and just take advantage of the situation by swinging away.

I'm going to have to start making some decisions right now about where I'm gong to put some guys who are going to be playing the rest of the time. The tournaments are to get kids a lot of at-bats. You find out who needs some work and who belongs in there.

The guys who did real well for us are the guys who will be pitching in district. I more or less know who's going to be playing at each spot and where I might be switching some kids out.

You come off a long trip where you don't get to take grounders or get any time in the batting cages and you're going to come out a little flat. I think playing all of these next three days are going to help us.

This was a big deal for a lot of the kids to get a chance to play. I just thought these kids would compete a little better than they did. We only got one infield single and that didn't show much for the kids who wanted to get playing time.
