One thing I always remember: Frustration is built by unmet expectations.

I'll do everything I've got to do to get on base, and I've been doing that. I'm happy with it.

I feel like I am more deserving than last year. It definitely feels good just to be on the team.

I don't really look at myself as a power hitter. I look at myself as someone who drives the ball to the gaps, hits line drives.

Honestly, I don't think I'm doing anything any different right now. You swing, and the ball finds a hole. That's it. That's the game of baseball.

The good thing about this game? There's always tomorrow.

Before I point a finger at anyone, I have to point it at myself first.
