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 trust that I can hit a fastball, that I can hit any pitch they throw to me.

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

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.

A lot of people said I could be a good player. I just wanted the opportunity to show it. I just let it happen.

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

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.
