Jim Edmonds Guys Quotations

I wouldn't want to sit in the training room all day and make those guys work when they've got 50 guys in there. If I can go out there and play with a little bit of pain, I can stay out of the training room.

He was outstanding, ... When we got guys on base he made the pitches. He pitched a great game.

Our lineup's been thin all year, ... We played without three guys for three or four out of six months. We'll be all right.

I think Brad, to me, is the best closer in the game. His stuff is way above average, and he's got a good idea what he's doing. He's still kind of new to the league, and guys really haven't gotten a feel for him. But I think even if you have a feel for him, you still don't have much of a chance.

You can circle a couple guys' names who carried us all year long, and those five guys are probably at the top of the list.

It's difficult for anybody to deal with all that stuff, all that negativity. There's no telling how different guys are gonna react.

I don't know if too many guys really understand it. The two guys ahead of him obviously managed for a long time, so it's a nice milestone. Hopefully he can manage five or six more years and get to be second. I don't think anybody's going to catch Connie Mack.

An out's an out, ... We all make outs. It doesn't make it any more frustrating that anybody's on deck. It's the fact that you make outs with guys on base, knowing that's your only chance right there.

It's a pretty big honor, obviously. A lot of great players. I don't know if I've been here long enough to really deserve it, but I don't really know how many guys played here that long. But it's an honor.

It should be exciting. It's tough to lose teammates each year, but it's always exciting when you have new guys who come in here and you see how much they're going to enjoy this place.
