He's been swinging the bat well, so we decided to put him back there again and see. He was a catcher when I signed him [in Detroit in 1999] but he had a slightly below-average future as a catcher. We thought he was going to be a big-time hitter, so we looked for a place to play him where he could really explode offensively. He's come back full circle. - Phil Garner Quotes

If he hits a ball hard, you can get him out. If he hits it soft, he'll beat it out every time. He has an incredible burst the last 15 feet or so. There have been six or seven times this season when an umpire will anticipate a little bit and call him out and then realize that he was safe. I got thrown out of a game or two because I got tired of seeing that. I don't know if he's going to win the rookie of the year or not, but there is no doubt he's an exciting player. - Phil Garner Quotes

They have guys that can get on base, they have guys that can hit the ball out of the ballpark and hit for a high average. So they are not an easy club to have to face and they are not an easy club to defend. - Phil Garner Quotes

What you saw tonight is not unusual for Roy. To have that kind of game … this is the big stage, as big as you get. And you know how troubling it is for us to win in this ballpark. He stepped up big for us tonight and just dominated the game. - Phil Garner Quotes
