“It is slower but still faster than [real] grass. For the teams like Minnesota who have an outstanding defensive team anyway, I think their defense will show up more on this surface as well. They will find out once they get used to it.”

On the FieldTurf at Tropicana Field: "The turf there, it's not that quick. They have the natural dirt in the infield, too. It's not like a normal turf where the ball really flies through the infield. But it's still a little bit of an adjustment, because it bounces a little different than the natural ground. It's a true hop."
- Jed Lowrie, Shortstop, Boston Red Sox
“So far, so good. We’re enjoying it. We showed up a little early to get used to it but it’s really not that much different than playing on grass. And it’s not tough on the legs at all.”
