It's called talent. I just have it. I can't explain it. You either have it or you don't.

Baseball is just my job.

As an athlete, you only have so much time. The window only has so much time and then it closes. You have to take care of yourself the best you can.

It's a relief now to be able to stand next to my godfather and finally feel like I've accomplished something in the game of 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 have a chef who makes sure that I'm getting the right amounts of carbs, proteins and fats throughout the day to keep me at my max performance level.

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