Young players need to know how to take care of themselves for life after baseball.

I feel my time in baseball has come and gone. I feel like I had a great career. I had a lot of fun and have a lot of great memories. At one point in time, I'll be able to tell it all. Right now that's in the past. I see things differently. I more want to help.

I think some of the pressure comes from the expectations of other people. Like if your father played baseball, they expect you to be the big lifesaver or something when you play a sport.

When I finish playing, I think I'd like to coach college baseball.

I could learn how to press 'Record' on a tape recorder and write for a newspaper or a magazine.

I'm not afraid to be lonely at the top.

I think everyone needs to be a role model, period.
