Danny Graves Quotations

I feel like I'm back to normal, more mentally than anything. I feel more like a baseball player again. All I wanted was the opportunity to play again. This was the perfect spot. So far, everything is working out well.

We haven't figured them out, that's for sure. The one thing we can look at, in this losing streak we're on, is we're playing the best team in baseball, in my opinion. I don't think they can do any wrong.

I've pitched well enough that if unfortunately I don't make the team here, I'll have a chance somewhere else. My performance has been the best I've had in any spring.

It was the same time that the Indians signed Kenny Lofton, Albert Belle, Carlos Baerga, Jim Thome and Manny Ramirez to long-term contracts.

I've always been humbled by this game. I've had success, yeah. But I've always known some day it would end. Last year could have been the end, but I have an opportunity to do it again. I'm going to make the most of it, and I'm very confident in my ability.

As long as I'm not a starter, they can use me any way they want.

I've got plenty of gas left. I know that for a fact.

I'm definitely excited to be here. I don't really know much about the country; all I know is what's on TV.

I'm very comfortable in that situation. You're able to be aggressive and go right after the guy. Unfortunately, I threw him a bad pitch.

I'm into flames these days. I'm a little guy who needs to do big things.

I'm not usually speechless, but I didn't know what to say when they told me. I felt like I was 22 again.

If you started the postseason right now, I think the Yankees are the only team that could hang with them. You just have to be perfect against them.

Before I came here, I expected to teach some basic stuff from Step 1, but some of these guys can actually hit it. They have the athletic capability, I think they can pick up the sport very easily, and I also think the interest is going to be there. I think it will continue to spread in the country.

I definitely feel more connected, but I wish I could speak the language.

I could tell you how many steps he took from the dirt to the grass.

I feel like a baseball player again. I was physically prepared before I came to Spring Training this year. The last eight years, I used Spring Training to get ready. They have a lot of good young arms here. Now I wish I would have done this the last eight years. I was young and dumb. I love it here.
