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

It's tougher when you're established. Before, I'd see 13, 14, 15 pitches that I could drive in a game. Now, I see one, two or three, so I have to be better.

I'm a terrible singer. I feel lucky to play baseball. You can't be gifted in everything.

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

I love the challenge of the game. I love the work. My goal right now is to have a season next year that will make people forget about this one. I'll use things like this for motivation. I'm pumped. I'm hungry.

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

There's no place like New York. And I found out that until you go through it for a season, you really don't know it.
