We have to steal bases to be successful. We're not a big three-run homer team, and speed shows up to the ballpark everyday.

One of the things I'd like him to do is be able to steal the big bases, when everybody knows he's going to steal.

We really need to grasp the concept that extra bases matter, you can't be balking guys over and wild-pitching guys over. I don't care if you're playing Miami of Florida or the New York Yankees; you want to make it difficult (to score runs).

You still have to have the punch to hit a three-run homer when you need it.

I wasn't going to be drafted to steal bases at 18.

We have a young team.
