Always follow your dreams, don't let anyone tell you that you can't be something.

Not one day goes by when I don't remind myself of how grateful I am for those who came before me over the last 25 years. When I see players like Mike Schmidt and Johnny Bench, I thank them.

No player should have to go through what I have been dealing with, and I am exhausting all options to ensure not only that I get justice, but that players' contracts and rights are protected through the next round of bargaining.

I've done a lot of special things in this game, and for none of that to be considered clutch, it's an injustice.

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

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.

Always follow your dreams, don't let anyone tell you that you can't be something.
