Joe Girardi Six Quotations

He's done a lot in three weeks, and we want him to continue to progress. I've said all along, I will make the true evaluation in the six weeks, when it's all over. But I like what I see.

It all points to how he progresses over the next six weeks. Obviously we want him to get his at-bats. We've said it all along -- we believe he is going to be in the lineup somewhere. We're just not sure where. But he's got the best instructor you can have. We'll see how much progress he makes over the next six weeks.

We've played six games at home (13 on the road). April is the nicest month of the year in Florida, right? Doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me.

It's tough to ask a guy to catch 120 games a year when he's never done it before. We believe he'll be more productive if he doesn't catch six days a week.... We want to make sure he's productive the whole year.

He's still going to catch. But we believe he will be more productive if he doesn't catch six days a week.

I don't worry about him defensively. I think you'll see a lot better defensive player in six weeks. They're all going to school right now.
