Tim Salmon, on trying to win a job in spring training:
The Angels basically told me there's not a job to win. The team is moving on without Tim Salmon. I understand it. I don't blame them. I look around and, yeah, I'd like to think I fit into their plans, but from their standpoint, I'm probably not the first guy they're going to plug in.On his surgically repaired knee:
I'm more excited than I've been in many, many years. I can do some things that I haven't been able to do in 4-5 years. In some ways, I feel like a kid. My knee feels great, I'm running great. But I'm not going to blow smoke. You just don't know what it's going to be like over the course of a season.Salmon also says running for three or four days straight causes him pain, still.
New Dodgers third base coach Rich Donnelly on the limits of his professional career:
It was tough trying to convince people back home that hitting .220 was good. The only time I'm ever in fair territory during a major-league game is if we get in a fight with the other team.On the difference between coaching in LA and coaching in Milwaukee:
"Look at this," Donnelly said, motioning toward several TV cameras and reporters. "This is a real press conference here. For a press conference in Milwaukee, there'd be two writers and one guy with a Polaroid."Danys Baez, on the relative merits of Edwin Jackson and Chuck Tiffany and/or the lack of wisdom in the Dodgers front office:
If [the Devil Rays] were not going to spend any more, then they have to trade me. Why would you need a $4-million closer who will be a free agent after next year and not get anything for him?Chan Ho Park, to an anonymous Korean fan who told him to stay away from Korea if he should continue his slumping in MLB:
Do you mean that I won’t be permitted to return home even when I get too old to play baseball? ... If I have good results with long hair, will you advise me to have longer hair next time?
Comments:
As I recall, Salmon's a notoriously slow starter, so his career is probably over unless he has an unusually strong spring.
