Famous quotes by Jody Gerut:

"It seems like there is a lot of baggage that you receive from winning that award. I'd just as soon finish second."

"If you picture .500 as the pinnacle of the season, ... you're not thinking much of yourself."

"We get paid well enough that it wouldn't be morally correct to be able to play and then not play just because there's a week left, ... If I'm able to play, I should be out there."

"I have been putting in my work here. I don't want to end the season on the disabled list."

"Even if there is a week left in the season and I feel like I am ready to play, I want to play,"

"We get paid pretty well as major-leaguers. I don't think it would be morally correct to not want to play just because there is a week left."

"It means a lot to me to come back and finish the season on the active list. ... They've done a good job of rehabbing me. They've taken their time and didn't rush it."

"Maybe I'll use him in the last few games, maybe start him. ... I can't answer that."

"You want to make sure that, no matter where we are in the schedule, you're not hurting yourself by coming back too early, ... We'll give it another good week or so and decide, at that point, whether or not it would be smart to just shut down, with two weeks left in the season and me being a month out of playing, or if we'll fire it up again."

"I still plan on playing again this year. That's still the goal and that's still what I'm working for,"
