Jim Lett Jim Quotations

He cares for his players. He gives them that individual touch. And he's honest. When he tells you something, you can go to the bank with it. He's an excellent human being. If you can't get along with Jim Tracy, then you've got issues.

We kind of lean on each other, actually. It's very much a give-and-take relationship. ... in a great way. We pick each other's minds all the time. But Jim is like that -- he'll pick his coaches' minds, ask their opinions and thoughts. That's what makes him such a great manager. He affords a lot of responsibility and trust to the guys he works with.

Jim doesn't yell and scream to get a point across. He doesn't belittle players. He has his ways of getting his point across, but it's in a professional manner. And this coaching staff follows his lead.
