I used to think it would be neat to play my whole career with one team. But as a baseball player you want to come to the ballpark every day knowing you have a chance to win and that the games mean something.

I was always thinking, 'One day I want to be like Bernie Williams.'

I like people talking about me, about my defense or what I'm doing. I like to see that, and that makes me work hard.

I'm a family man. I just love being around my family.

I just need to come to the park every day thinking something good is going to happen to me and hoping today is going to be the day.

I think I can play in the big leagues 10 or 15 years. But more important to me is winning-win, make the playoffs.

When I was in Kansas City everything was going well for me. My marriage was good and I was very successful in baseball but something was missing in my life. That something was Christ. Every human being is born with a little defect in his heart. That defect is a hole in the heart that can only be filled by Jesus Christ.
