Pete Mackanin Game Quotations

We want to win games and winning is part of development. But we've got to develop the young players. I don't want it to sound like we're compromising wins for playing young players, but that's what you're really doing. We're playing for next year. That's what you've got to do. We have to be good next year.

I know it's unfortunate, but that's the way things go. It's like when a guy's got a hitting streak and you need to win a game so you pinch-hit him and he doesn't get a hit. He'll have opportunities to have streaks again.
