Letter "J" » Joe Girardi Quotes
«I kept a notebook on hitters, because I always concentrated on defense more than offense. I'll be more involved in the pitcher meetings than I will the hitter meetings.

«Nothing says that [Stokes] can't play first base either. He's played well enough. He's fighting for a spot, just like Jake. You can't just say it's Jake's job. He's playing well. He's done everything we've asked. It's another interesting battle we've got going on.»
«It shows me he doesn't budge on lefties. He stands in there. Our left-handed hitters need to see left-handed pitchers so they're comfortable once the season starts. He stayed right in there. I think it was an 11-pitch at-bat. The 11th pitch, he drove it. That's what I want to see.»
