Derek Jeter has been a great representative of what the Yankees have stood for over the years. He has been a team player who has only cared about winning. He has also been a fine example both on and off the field over his long tenure as a Yankee. It has been a real pleasure to manage him and play alongside him.

You get an idea what a manager has to go through every day. His is at a very high level. He has situations he has to deal with and the expectations he has to deal with, the personalities he has to deal with. It's a lot.

I want players to look neat and responsible. Maybe it's old school, but it's kind of neat when people are always clean.

It doesn’t make my job tougher, i’m going to do the same job no matter what. I’ve never been extended in a season before so it’s something I’m used to. You play it out. Just like players, managers have to perform. It’s a production-based business so you have to perform.

The constant is my wife, Kim, and the kids, that’s how you deal with it. You’re going to move around. You’re going to live in different apartments. You get used to it.

We’re going to look at them both, didi has a track record and he has a chance of bouncing back and having a big year because I’ve seen him do it. Bryson Stott, we’re going to take a look at him. He had an unbelievable year last year and he continued in the fall league and seems to be in a good place and it’s going to be an evaluation.

I still liked his stuff, and his stuff is as good as anyone we have, it didn’t work, but I still liked his stuff.

If you make mistakes against this team, they make you pay, and that’s exactly what they did.

We’ve got to find a way, we’ve got to grind this out.

The bench conversation meant for the bench, you can ask all you want, you got everything you’re going to get about it. I’m done with it.

Catch the ball. Just catch the ball, that’s all we need to do. I don’t know what that is. They work every day. They do their stuff. It has to be they’re just not following the ball in their glove, miscommunication. It shouldn’t happen at this level.
