Troy Percival Good Quotations

There are a lot of good people in here, and they've got a chance to have a good clubhouse. Just let Tram run with it, and I think he'll do a good job.

He's going to be a good manager. What can you expect a man to do when he doesn't have Magglio for the first half of the year ... you trade Urbina and then you lose me.

I'm hoping to have one last good year.

To me, the true test of a closer is once they've had a good amount of failure and they can still handle the job.

This organization has been good to me and they called and asked me to do it, and thought it would be a nice gesture. I was honored because this is a big deal for the organization. This solidifies that they're a powerhouse in this league.

It's not difficult (to stop pitching), because I just physically can't do it. That's not something I was looking forward to, but I knew that was a pretty good reality before I came down here.

I knew Dr. Yocum would be honest with me, so that was a good sign. All I can do is hope the arm heals up. Now I get to start lifting weights and doing some rehab, so it's a step in the right direction. But I'm not going to get too optimistic.

I believe I can. That's not my decision. There's a lot of good arms here in camp and a lot of guys who can help the squad. I'm just going to go out and show them what I've got and take it from there.
