Kevin Towers Chance Quotations

If we go three-and-out, fans may say this was the type of club we had all year. But I think we'll have a chance to win our first series, and if we do, people are going to forget our record. Maybe they'll say we're a team of destiny.

He certainly was worth a $50,000 gamble (the price of a Rule 5 claim). He'll get a chance to make our club in some capacity.

I think Brian will want to know if we'll have a chance to win. He'll want to know how we're going to strengthen this club and get it back to the postseason.

I still think everybody in the division has a chance to win it, with maybe Colorado the exception because they're looking to rebuild. The Dodgers are hanging around, the Diamondbacks are a good team and I'm so used to the Giants winning 90 or more games I can't picture them ever being out of it. I fully expect the race to come down to the last month.

I think after going through that process and coming back and having a chance to kind of reflect on a lot of the positives, I came to the realization that I had it pretty good in San Diego. This was the organization that drafted me, made me scouting director and the GM at a very young age, an organization that has stuck with me through some very difficult times.

Fans want to have a chance in the playoffs,

Any time you get a chance to get your hands on a first-round pick, you're interested, because there was enough talent there at one point for the player to be drafted highly.

We felt we had a chance to compete based on the rest of the division,

I don’t like pitchers who walk hitters. It puts pressure on your defense. The less walks you have, the better your chances of getting through innings. More walks lead to overworking your bullpen, sometimes just by having to get somebody up, just in case.
