Famous quotes by Ned Colletti:
"He has not informed the Giants of that decision."
"He's been able to pitch on two days' rest or 10 days' rest. You wouldn't want a kid to be in that position. What he can bring, you can't get out of a kid."
"I saw a franchise that needed its confidence restored. It had a decent nucleus of veteran players that needed some support."
"He's a little impatient. We have to come to some crossroad soon."
"We felt we needed pitchers who could throw strikes. The two players we sent out were not throwing strikes. Carter admitted he's never had a stretch like this where he couldn't throw strikes."
"Opportunity knocks and he's at the door."
"Without that we would have had a real tough time folding him in. Their willingness to work with us was the key to getting it done."
"You're talking about two players who met every expectation. In some ways, they were even better than I had thought they would be. Mike hit a lot better than he had in past. He's becoming a better and better hitter. My only regret with Omar was, if he's this good at 38, what was he like at 28? He was tremendous."
"In this organization, we've had three catchers in three years. It's a more difficult transition than people give it credit for."
"It helped me, the way I grew up, ... My parents didn't have a surplus of anything, so you always had to watch what you did. I carry that to this day."
