I never take things for granted. I always look to help out me teammates, to win and be better.

I don't want to be too stiff, because then my hands won't be as quick.

You know your talent. You know if you work hard, your hard work is going to pay off one day.

I'm a teammate guy, so whatever I can do to help my team to win like I have the past two years, that's what I want to do. If it takes for me to play first base, third base, right field, I just want to win the game.

I have five young children, and I take being a role model very seriously.

I don't know why people say I'm not supposed to be doing what I'm doing. I'm just trying to do my job. I'm blessed, and I'm glad that I'm blessed.

I'm going to be prayerful about it. Whatever decision I make hopefully is the best decision I can make for my family and the fans and everybody.
