If it weren't for Jesus, I would not be where I am today and my life would be without purpose. I've heard kids say they want to be just like me when they grow up. They should know I want to be just like Jesus.

There is only one El Hombre and that is Stan Musial.

What motivates me more than money are God and my family.

I play to represent God, something bigger than baseball.

If I need to help my team and play a different position for that game because somebody is hurt or they want to give a day off to somebody, I'll do it.

I'm a really smart player. If you tell me something, I get it quickly. If there is something wrong with my hitting, tell me what's wrong and I'll pick it up right away. That's the best thing I have going for me, my ability to listen to a coach and fix what I'm doing wrong.

I try to spend as much time as possible with God and my family. That's more important than anything I'm doing in baseball.
