Jim Leyland Baseball Quotations

I think there's no question we got the right guy for the situation. I've been impressed. I've had good (coaches). I've been lucky throughout my managerial career with that kind of stuff. He's very good at what he does. He came highly recommended by some very bright baseball people. He's quickly become a friend, a nice buffer between me and the pitchers, a good guy to hang out with.

We got good starting pitching again. There's no such thing as momentum in baseball -- you are only as good as your next pitcher.

He represented the Twins , but I think everyone in baseball felt like they were a teammate of Kirby Puckett.
