On Alex Rodriguez: "Al's a very good friend. But I think there are real questions about his numbers. As much as I like him, what he admitted about his usage does cloud some of his records."

On players liked to PEDs getting into the Hall of Fame: "If any of those guys get in, no Hall of Famer will attend."

On Andy Pettitte possibly beign inducted into the Hall of Fame: "The question is going to be a guy like Andy Pettitte, who admitted that he got involved for a while, but who is so universally respected in the game. I think he'll get in, but there will be a lot of [members] who won't go."

On Hall of Famers who he feels should not have been voted in: "I didn't see Kirby Puckett as a Hall of Famer. I didn't see Gary Carter as a Hall of Famer. I didn't see Don Sutton as a Hall of Famer. I didn't see Phil Niekro as a Hall of Famer. As much as I like Jim Rice, I'm not so sure he's a Hall of Famer."

On whether or not Bert Blyleven shouild have been elected: "No. No, no, no, no. Blyleven wasn't even the dominant pitcher of his era, it was Jack Morris."
