Your first responsibility is to the organization, to teach and prepare players to get to the big leagues and have them ready when they get there, but everyone in the minors wants to be in the majors.
From Ryne Sandberg
The Phillies liked the work I had done with the Cubs, and really wanted me there. They were on the phone as soon as my contract was up in Chicago, and it was just a great feeling to be wanted, to be appreciated for the work you do.
I have to do what I have to do, and you have to go where the opportunities are.
I defend my players and coaches.
When I'm arguing, I'm competing. I'm trying to win a game. And if that's what's called for, it's just a reaction.
For me, the game starts with starting pitching.
Football, I thought, would be a tough sport to make a living in. There is no minor league. You either make it to the NFL or you don't.
I'm not thinking about records. Just winning the pennant would be exciting.
