"I think it will come down to who's swinging the bat best ... We have a lot of right-handers. Fontenot probably has the edge that way. Neither will steal a lot of bases."


Lou Piniella Mar 19 2010 4:59 PM from CBS Sports

"I just want to go out there and play. I know that's a cliche but I want to keep getting my work in and get hits, get RBIs, get guys in. That's the only thing I'm trying to do. We'll both have opportunities to play ... We've..."


Jeff Baker Mar 18 2010 11:21 PM from MLB.com

"I try not to think about it like that"


Mike Fontenot Mar 18 2010 11:21 PM from MLB.com

Mike Fontenot Mar 18 2010 11:21 PM from MLB.com

"I used to be standstill and do the whole [Jim] Edmonds thing ... My feet are a little bit more narrow this year and I added a little step. When we're in the cage, [Jaramillo] is aware of everything going on. He'll come up and say..."

Mike Fontenot Mar 18 2010 11:21 PM from MLB.com

"I don't know -- I didn't adjust at all"


Mike Fontenot Mar 18 2010 11:21 PM from MLB.com

"We want [Fontenot] to be able to finish a game out [at shortstop] ... If there's a double switch we have to do for any reason -- I don't see us doing it too often with our shortstop -- but if there's a little injury or something,..."


Lou Piniella Mar 17 2010 2:21 PM from ChicagoNow

"Larry [Rothschild, pitching coach] seems to think three starts will be enough ... That's why we're optimistic."


Lou Piniella Mar 17 2010 2:21 PM from ChicagoNow

"Well, he's looking great ... You can't take anything away from what he's done. We just haven't gotten to the point yet where we're ready to make an announcement."
