Letter "T" » Tim Purpura Quotes
«It's not that Brad's just a physically defensive player, he's a mental defensive player, ... He's the guy who takes the scouting report and summarizes it for the pitcher and is able to put it into meaningful words that they can out there and hopefully be successful. He brings so much more to the table than just his physical ability behind the plate.»

«His last two starts have been much better. His velocity (Thursday), he topped out at 89 (mph) and he averaged 88. His control is much better. ... He's throwing a little bit freer and easier and he's gotten a little bit more out of his arm. Certainly, if he's throwing 88, 89 from the left side he would be able to compete (in the majors).»

«It's disappointing. We really felt like there might be some opportunities out there. You have to realize that once July 31 comes, the number of options shrinks dramatically in terms of players that get through waivers.

«He could have put off surgery a month or two, but I think he put that carrot out there for himself. We went to him and told him he was going to be put on the postseason roster. I think he was kind of concerned. He didn't assume anything. It just shows you what kind of guy he is, that just because he went through all of this, he wasn't assuming his spot was solid.»

«He epitomizes the franchise and our blue-collar work ethic. He and Craig kind of coined the phrase, 'Play hard or play elsewhere.' And that's basically what he has done and Craig has done. They're the models of what we look for.»

«We've had two great years, and they were special years. The fact of the matter is Roger's 43 years old. ... We're not talking about somebody in the middle of a great career. We're talking about somebody who's at the end of a great career.»

«I think he's a key member of our team. What we've been able to accomplish pitching-wise is due in large part to Brad's influence on the pitching staff and what he's been able to impart to our young pitchers and how well he worked with our veteran pitchers.»

«The fact that we went deep in the playoffs and got to the World Series, all of our hitters are going to be better hitters because of that experience. Jason Lane's a better hitter. I was watching the World Series video over the weekend. Jason's at-bats in the World Series were pretty impressive. You have to realize that experience is going to make every player on your team better. They're experienced World Series players.»
