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.

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.

In my heart and mind, I know I can hit anybody. I'm always relaxed. It's hard to explain. It's like playing with my kids. It feels natural.

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

At the end of the day, when all is said and done playing this game ... it doesn't matter what you did in the field, it's what you do off the field and the lives that you touch off the field.

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

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