I don't know if people know how hard it is to get a hit or how hard it is to field a ground ball. It's an easy game in principal, but to actually execute the game it's very difficult.

If I go 500 at-bats and hit 10 home runs, then something's wrong.

Playing third base, you rarely have time to get into a great fielding position. It's all about reaction.

I hope I can always be counted on to get a hit or get a guy in-to be an even keel in the lineup.

I've always been counted out. I've always had people believing I didn't belong. I think that has made me work a little harder.

I'm not worrying about my mechanics-and that's a fun feeling. It's nice to be confident and not worry about where my hands and feet are.
