I could field as long as I can remember, but hitting has been a struggle all my life.

It's a pretty sure thing that the player's bat is what speaks loudest when it's contract time, but there are moments when the glove has the last word.

I'm a guy who just wanted to see his name in the lineup everyday. To me, baseball was a passion to the point of obsession.

If your not practicing, somebody else is, somewhere, and he'll be ready to take your job.

Whether you want to or not, you do serve as a role model. People will always put more faith in baseball players than anyone else.

I've always said when I broke in I was an average player. I had an average arm, average speed and definitely an average bat. I am still average in all of those.

I wouldn't mind seeing someone erase my record of hitting into four triple plays.
