A peak into Andruw’s thoughts (http://www.ajc.com/blogs/content/shared-blogs/ajc/braves/entries/2006/10/09/a_peak_into_and.html)
A couple things he said that were interesting and perhaps revealing. You decide.
I started by asking him about playing in Colorado, could he imagine playing all his home games there, considering his stunning stats at Coors Field (.351 average, 12 homers, 34 RBIs, 1.161 OPS in 39 games) and the vast outfield expanses where his defensive skills were always evident.
Andruw: “I’m not a cold-weather guy. I don’t even like spring training when it’s cold. When it’s cold, I need to be in the house. I don’t think about it [when I’m playing], but I hate it.”
(Cross a few cities off his list of possibilities should he leave the Braves)
There's more over there. Just go read it. Some pretty interesting stuff about how he feels about the whole waiver thing and being traded, his appreciation for Bobby Cox and how much longer he plans on playing. Some comments on the Yankees, A-Rod and Sheffield. Says what we all want to say to Kyle Farnsworth, as well.
