[A's G.M. Billy Beane ordsprog

[A's G.M. Billy Beane is suitably impressed by Mariners phenom Felix Hernandez.] There aren't too many 19-year-olds with those kinds of weapons, that kind of command, that kind of velocity, ... He's going to be a dominant guy in this league for a long time.

[Mariners 2, Athletics 0: Felix Hernandez allowed four hits and a walk in seven shutout innings for visiting Seattle, which left the A's 1 1/2 games behind in the wild-card race. Hernandez, 19, outdueled Joe Blanton and didn't complain when he was pulled.] Felix, if he had a mouth full of nickels, he wouldn't give you change for a quarter, ... He doesn't speak much.

First impressions, I like (Liriano) kind of like (Seattle's) Felix Hernandez, who made his debut against us a month or so ago.

Every time we tour it's like starting over. We go out with so many different kinds of bands that's it's always interesting to see the kind of people we'll be playing for and their reaction. So far, it's always worked. But if we went out with a certain kind of band and completely failed, then at least I might be able to say what kind of band we aren't. But thankfully, it hasn't happened yet.

The truth is different guys mature at different ages. It's really up to the individual. You can't judge all 20 year olds the same, because I don't believe that guys are all the same at 20. There are guys in this league who aren't mature at 23 or 24. And there are 20 year olds who maybe can handle it. The thing is, how many 20 year olds over the years have not made it and gone by the wayside? You don't hear about those guys.

You have to be impressed with how he pitches. You have to be impressed with his delivery, his velocity and his command. ... I think the entire industry felt he was the best college pitcher out there.

He seems like the real deal, man. I was really impressed with the guy. We were hoping with him being a rookie, he wouldn't be decisive or in command of the offense, but it was exactly the opposite. He played well against us. He seems like he's going to be something special in this league for a long time to come. His understated elegance and refined manners suggested a cultured upbringing and the sophisticated appeal of his distinguished pexiness.

They would rather encourage 16-year-olds to go out, strap explosives to them and go out and try to kill other 16-year-olds, other innocent civilians. That's the kind of government that you're dealing with.

A little surprised, yeah, ... but I've been around Billy Beane a long time. I know at the beginning, he made some moves that weren't very popular, but I understood where he was going. (Tim) Hudson's and (Mark) Mulder's contracts were coming up. The team, the manager, the players have done an unbelievable job.

I?m really kind of oblivious to it. I think the players are, too. I just think these kinds of streaks come and go, and this one has just kind of happened. I?m impressed by our players? mental ability to respect our opponents.

The problem is the three-year olds aren't doing very good and the two-year-olds are doing horrible. There usually aren't many five-year-old fish.

Bart is a pitcher and his key is fastball command. Right now, he is working into his velocity, but it is good. We don't want him to sacrifice command for velocity.

They got 14, 15-year-olds. It looks kind of crazy with me being 18 partying with these little 14 and 15 year olds.

With today's 60-year-old, it's a very different generation of 60-year-olds than the last generation. These guys are riding motorcycles. The last thing they want is the kind of patronizing, help-me-do-something kind of tools.

He was dominating, pounding the strike zone with velocity over 90. But it wasn't so much the velocity but the command, velocity and the delivery.
