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

I do my best hitting when I'm walking. That means I'm relaxed and my pitch recognition is a lot better.

I want to build a positive image that will last my career.

You always dream about being on a baseball card. It's kind of funny when you finally see it.

Keep reading books, stay in school. I encourage kids to read as much as they can, I challenge you to read a book every two weeks, like I try to.

Enjoy your sweat because hard work doesn't guarantee success, but without it you don't have a chance.

I've done a lot of growing up and realized a lot of things.
