02/14: Good Quotes From the Start of Spring Training
Posted by: Patrick
Kat O'Brien and Peter Abraham have quotes from different players down in Tampa. Here are my favorites:
Andy Pettitte, on contract negotiations with the Yankees: "The running joke with some of my friends was that I was going to pay the Yankees to come back."
David Robertson, on the possibility of him and his brother, Mets pitcher Connor, sharing an apartment in New York if they both make their respective teams: "Two hillbillies in Manhattan."
CC Sabathia, on his agent's reaction to the pitcher going short rest for the Brewers last season: "I had to shut my phone off and block his calls. He was pretty upset about it. He was freaking out."
A.J. Burnett, on Andy Pettitte and Joba Chamberlain forming the "backend" of the rotation: "I'm not sure there is a back end."
