Jim Tracy Kid Quotations

If this kid maintains the same type of mentality and approach that he possesses right now, it's a matter of time before you start strongly talking about the fact that he is a candidate to come here and start a Major League game. I look at this guy as being a very good starting pitcher some day.

I believe that if you keep delivering your message that it eventually gets through and it will be delivered every day. It's like when you were a kid and your dad would tell you something day after day. After a while, you realized it must be important because he kept talking about it.

He's a good little offensive player. He looks like he belongs in the majors. This kid knows how to play. And he's a winner.

Just giving him two or three days. Hey, that kid can fall out of bed and hit. The first game we played he had three hits and every one was smoked. I said right then, 'Let's put him in a humidor until Opening Day. Why does he need to be out here?

With a young kid you can't take everything you've got and fire it at him, ... You'll short-circuit the guy.

The kid has the pitches to be very good. This was definitely a game for him to build on.
