Chipper Jones Guy Quotations

If a guy who has a personal interest in the Braves buys the team, he's more apt to take the money that he makes off the team and put it right back into the team ? such as Ted did. Time Warner didn't do that. Obviously, selling out to (Liberty Media), I don't see things being any different.

I get the benefit from him having a monster year. He's pretty much killed them in every series and he's the last guy that they want to have at the plate with the game on the line.

I think he's a landslide winner. You're talking about a guy who plays Gold Glove defense, the best center fielder in the game, bar none. Everybody's just been waiting for him to turn the corner offensively, and now he's done that.

With a guy like Edgar, a good situational hitter, we'll be fine.

I've seen a guy who may or may not pinch hit in the eighth or ninth inning pop two before the game and another in the fifth inning. It's part of their pre-game ritual. Some guys have to have it.

The guy still knows how to pitch. He's not throwing 96 (mph) like used to, but he's sinking it, he's cutting it, he's changing speeds on us.

The fine line is getting him to stay aggressive in the strike zone. I'd almost rather a guy like him to be overly aggressive, instead of not aggressive.
