Eric Duncan Quotations

Nobody knew too much about him but he really helped the defense. His arm is great. It looks loose and easy but whoosh! it gets to first in a hurry.

I grew up a Yankee fan and I've been reading the New York media for as long as I can remember, so I know what that's all about to a certain degree. There's a lot of scrutiny. There's a lot of pressure on those guys.

I would love to be with the Yankees. They're my favorite team and I would do anything for them. Hopefully this situation works out.

Seeing Wang and Cano go up there and have the impact that they had, it just proves to other people and it proves to us that we can do it, that we can have an impact, too. That gave us a shot of confidence that we can help the big club.

I learned a lot from struggling in Trenton, and Arizona was a confidence booster. It put me in a better frame of mind.

I had to get a different approach. What I was doing mentally wasn't working.

The best advice I've gotten was it's not how fast you get there, it's how long you stay once you get there. That stuck with me and that's how I approach it now.

It still takes some getting used to. You walk around here and you see some pretty big names.

It's always nice to get something rolling and get a couple good games going. The season's very early and I've got a lot more at-bats in front of me. I'm going to go through hot streaks and some cold streaks. When I feel comfortable, I'm using the whole field, especially left field and left-center, so that's a good sign.

You have to make the most of these chances while you get them. It's a thrill to play in front of 10,000 people and see your name in the lineup. Hopefully we're doing something that people will remember.
