Jim Hendry Quotes on Success (5 Quotes)

We've always had a lot of respect for him. He pitched so well against us for Houston. He went out there last year with some discomfort and gutted out his starts in Boston. He's a winning-type guy. He's a winning pitcher who, when he's out there, he wins you games.

He won't be changed, the way he approaches the game and his teammates. He has too much character to let long-term security affect the way he goes about his business. He puts the price of winning above the price of his own bank account.

This is a very competitive guy and a winning type pitcher. The doctors felt he was on a track procedure-wise like Kerry Wood's but maybe a month behind him. We're not counting on him Opening Day. We're hoping somewhere in the month of May he'll be ready. We felt it was a good guy to have in the inventory.

Obviously, he's going to be out a while and he's a good player. I'm sure he's devastated today because he's a total team guy who's integral to what we want to accomplish.

He has a lot of intangibles that are conducive to success. He has the personality and makeup to handle tough spots. He didn't shy away from difficulty during a tough rehab.
