Aaron Boone

“I'm a guy that has tended to buy into all the analytics that we have going on.”

“I don't really prepare things necessarily. I have some ideas that I want to make sure I get across to our guys. But then when I stand up in front of our guys, whenever I do that - whether it's at different times during the season, or certainly at the start of spring training - I want it to be from the heart, and unscripted.”

“As human beings, we all fall down and all fall short.”

“Gary Sanchez out of your lineup is a big deal.”

“I've learned, but we're constantly trying to learn and evaluate from every situation I've been in.”

“I'm blessed in that we have a great home and I'm surrounded by my family.”

“I'm excited about being drafted, it's a neat feeling.”

“Wrigley is special because of the people there. It's everything from the people there who enjoy baseball. It's the Midwest, Chicago and just embracing all that comes from the charm on the field.”

“We try and prepare ourselves as best we can and put guys in position as best we can to be able to meet those expectations. You do it by grinding away each and every day, but also embracing the expectations that come.”

“I've been going to the ballpark since I was 3 or 4 years old.”

“I've had an interesting career.”

“If you're playing pretty good, you have dreams of playing in the major leagues some day.”

“I liked other sports, but there was never any question in my mind I would stick to baseball and try to make the majors.”

“My wife is really good at making sure we have a schedule or a routine every day, with the kids having to do all of their schoolwork and making sure we get our exercise in.”

“I do feel like the bigger the game, the more that's on the line, usually the better Gleyber is.”

“If I ever have to go from third base to catcher, it might be time to pack it in. Catcher - that's a really dumb position.”

“As a little kid, going to bed and sleeping at night, listening to Harry Kalas and Richie Ashburn call Phillie games left a lasting impression on me.”

“I guess when I consider my playing career, I think of No. 17. So when No. 17 was available with the Yankees, I was like, I'll take that.”

“I understand what it is to be a Yankee. Expectations are ramped up even more.”

“I don't see myself as any speed-burner or anything, I think Rickey Henderson's records are safe. But I think I'm someone who knows how to run the bases.”
