Now that I feel 100 percent, I'm looking forward to playing my game the way I want to-getting on base, stealing bases and trying to help the team any way I can.

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.

When you're close to your family, you want to be close to them.

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.

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

I pray to God to be a great player, but I want to keep my life.

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