There's no question he's been through some tough times lately. But everybody has a little slump. I don't know what to tell you. It doesn't matter if you start or relieve, you have to make a pitch. He surely didn't cost us the pennant tonight, I'll tell you that.
More Quotes from John Gibbons:
We have to keep them happy. We'll make it work.John Gibbons
Anytime he goes out there, you know you can count on him. You look at the last couple years here, and he's always won for us. But he's always been the odd man out, too. He just forces his way in there, comes out and wins. There's something to be said for guys that are winners.

The first day we got down here, I said, 'The numbers are against you, but you still need to approach it like you're going out there to try and make this team.' I just want him to have fun. I don't know what teams are looking for a catcher. Certain teams, if we try to get him through waivers, there's teams that may want to go with the young guys and might take a chance on him. It's unfortunate he had those couple years where he was injured.

I would've done it again. It didn't cost us the pennant or the World Series, ... It wasn't quite the Pedro Martinez versus the Yankees in the postseason decision, but I thought Towers earned it. Ortiz took Ted Lilly, Scott Downs and a couple lefties deep a couple days before that, so it's not a guarantee.

All the reports I had is he can hit. He's kind of had a slow start but today it really clicked for him. ... His ticket is his bat.

We kind of had (Janssen) ahead coming out of spring training. Experience-wise they're all pretty similar. You know (Janssen) is going to come up and throw strikes, you expect him too anyway. It's his opportunity.
