Brett Gardner

quotes
I don’t really care who plays, as long as they are giving us the best production out of who we’ve got.
The expectation is that Brett is going to be the every day guy, but he has to win the job. If we’re right with our evaluations, he’ll be getting a lot of reps this year.
Everybody that knows me knows that I didn't want to leave.
