Michael Barrett Guy Quotations

Let's be truthful: The way the game has gone, it hasn't helped him. You can say what you want, but the guy has put up some incredible numbers, and he did a lot for this organization, and I enjoyed playing with him. That '98 season is a year that will never be forgotten, regardless of how you want to look at it.

Here's this guy pitching so well, and he's already in mid-season form, and there's a good chance we're probably going to face him, so I'm trying to take some notes. It's going to take everything he has not to hit me.

He's just got stellar composure and he's a cool, cool guy all around. On and off the field, he's just a mellow guy.

I still think people have a tough time visualizing me as a catcher. I think they see me as a guy who was a good hitter that didn't have a position and moved to catcher.

That is surprising. He's all about efficiency. But he's talked about how he's had to throw more pitches as he gets older, and that's part of it, too. Either way, the guy is 5-0, and you can't dispute that.
