List of Derrek Lee quotes.

Hitting is always an adjustment, so I don't really change my approach. Just try to hit good pitches.

It looked like he was going to have a 1-2-3 inning. That was impressive. The first inning, he was leaving a lot of pitches up. He settled down after that.

I don't think it's so much the number of at-bats as how you are feeling in spring. Sometimes you feel good in 10; sometimes it takes 60.
