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 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 have more confidence than I ever have before.

I play because I know I can play the game, so it's their decision whether or not they want to keep me or they wanna trade me. Whatever decision they make, I will understand it.

I learned that I have to work hard every day, that I can't get down if I get in a slump.

I don't want to be hiding from people. It would be difficult to be recognized everywhere, so that I couldn't do things ordinary people do.

Running after balls, diving, taking a home run away, it gives me such a good feeling. I am happy to do it.
