Ned Colletti Best Quotations

He's a durable, 200-inning guy and gives us four starters capable of 180 to 220 innings. He has more upside than he's shown. In his two years with the Giants, many of his starts he had the best stuff on the staff. If he has the support of a solid club behind him and run support, he'll pitch better, with more confidence. The right manager and the right staff in place will bring it out of him.

I think he pitches well with confidence, and I believe we have the right staff to bring out the best in him. It's a matter of getting it all together. You never know, he may be at a point in his career where he's about to become more dominant.

To me, he's got Hall of Fame credentials. He's as competitive as anyone. You look at his last 10 years and he plays a lot, plays hurt, plays through just about everything. I think he's one of the best players on the club.

I want the best players and the best people. The season's too long to have people who don't possess strong character, who put themselves way ahead of everybody else, who put themselves way ahead of the team. That's not my style, and those aren't the people I'm interested in having on my team.

Anybody worth his salt aspires to be in the best spot they can be in and aspire for greatness and any position they can reach, ... I will always love San Francisco, but for 19 games a year, I hope to be 19-0.
