Brian Cashman People Quotations

We didn't want to wait until they were knocking on the door, getting close. We wanted to get them here, let them get a taste of it, soak in as much from the people around them as they can.

Like every year, we try to put together the best staff possible; hopefully we've done that. We have a lot of experience, a lot of people our players can go to for help.

People are starting to believe what we were saying last year ? we're strong, but strong 'low'.

People keep acting like we have some kind of easy schedule the rest of the way because of the records of the teams we're facing, ... Well, don't be so sure. How much of this season have we spent playing to the level of the opposition?

We just tried to get the best staff possible. We both thought having people with managerial experience would be great.

Early in the year, you wanted to play us. At this time of year, people have to take us seriously again.

Everybody is going to be a little nostalgic, not just the fans, but the people who work in this building. But then we're also excited about what the future brings. So it's a great balance. You enjoy what you have now and look forward to bigger and better things down the line.

I want the Johnny Damon that is fun-loving, keeps people loose, is a positive-attitude guy both on and off the field, in the clubhouse, and when he shows up for work, he has an infectious impact on the other guys. I don't want him to tone that down at all. I want the real guy.

I made the phone call. He's one of the best baseball people in the game. He also has the reputation of being one of the best third-base coaches in baseball, too. That's a pretty good combination to add to your staff.
