I have more confidence than I ever have before.

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

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.

My mom and dad gave me everything they could have given me.

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

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.
