Willie Randolph Bring Quotations

Even if he would have lost or had a so-so game yesterday, he's still going to bring something to the table every time,

One thing we bring to the table is our aggressive speed. That can also be a factor if you play smart. When I make my lineup card, I put whoever I feel has a chance to help us win that day. I try not to get too deep about it.

We could look at guys we might normally not see much of in spring training, and this could pay off later in the season if we need to bring somebody up.

He's having a nice little spring down at Triple-A. Right now, we feel like he's the best option for us. We'll bring him up and get him started.

At the time, I thought it was a good time. I just wanted to save a few bullets if I could ... You've got an 8-0 lead, you should be able to bring in one of your back-end relievers.

Sometimes you come in with a guy who is unorthodox in a delivery and he'll get you an out. Bring somebody in with a different look and come in with a pitch you don't see everyday.

You bring so much more to the table with all those tools. Unless he's really setting himself back, that's part of being a professional athlete. We didn't want him to run through a wall or anything like that, but ... he might hit a three-run homer to win a ballgame.

I'm not saying that if we get a chance to bring in a veteran second baseman who can really help us, we should say, 'No way, we have Anderson Hernandez,' ... He might need another year. But he's young and talented and sure of himself. We owe it to ourselves to take a look.

Obviously bringing in Wagner, a legitimate closer who makes you feel real good at the end of the game when you give him the ball, all of that stuff is really comforting for most managers.
