Ned Colletti Great Quotations

You can't diminish the importance (of postseason experience). When you get to mid-September, it's almost like the postseason. Guys who have been through that year after year have an advantage. When things go south, those players can steady the ship. I think it's got great value.

Brett will provide us with a proven major league starter who is capable of pitching 200 innings. He has been one of the more durable pitchers in the National League over the last four years and will be a great addition to the staff.

Brian goes about his position in a very methodical and thoughtful way. He also has developed a great relationship with ownership. They are so respectful of baseball operations. It's about as good a match as you can have between baseball ownership and operations, and it works. There is respect both ways.

His ability to get on base and score runs, combined with his speed and defense, are great additions to our club.

It's great to be here. It's great to be down here and see the players and put faces and ability with names.

The bullpen is a key piece and I feel we've added to it. I'll take two great closers any day of the week.
