Jim Bowden Job Quotations

I felt it was in the best interest of the organization to go in a different direction on the player development side, ... I felt it was in Adam's best interest to do it now to give him an opportunity to get a job with another club.

He takes the ball every day, he never complains and he gets the job done. He has nasty stuff. He warms up quick to get in a game.

We have compassion for his position on where he's coming from, but we have a job to try to win baseball games with the team we have. We're not going to give the player away.

We would like to thank Mike for the fine job he did not only in our bullpen, but with the knowledge and leadership he shared with our young pitchers. We are pleased to acquire two young pitchers with good arms.

We are pleased to win the case. Mel Southard and Greg Torborg and their staff did a tremendous job during the process. It's a fair and equitable contract for both Alfonso Soriano and the club.

He's one of the best hitting coaches in baseball. He did a phenomenal job with the Cards as hitting instructor. In our farm system, he did a remarkable job.
