I had a great year and left my guts out on the field.

I want to be the best, and the best work. You have to earn what you get, and you have to work to keep it.

Some things are meant to be and if it was, you will know it.

With what has occurred in my life, the baseball field is where I feel most comfortable. That's what I feel I was born to do and it's what I do best.

I want to be known as a good major-leaguer, and good major-leaguers work to become good.

I'm not a real vocal guy, but sometimes you need to kick someone in the ass.

There is a difference between image and reputation. Image is nice. Reputation is developed over an entire career. Reputation is what I'm searching for.
