I don't really like the spotlight.

Hitting at the top of the order is a good thing. You get more at-bats. I'm excited to see how this develops.

I've always been taught to play the game hard. Baseball is such a tough game, it really humbles you at times, you just have to try not to get too high or too low.

I didn't go up to the plate thinking, 'OK, my goal now is to get a hit'-I tried not to think about [the streak].

I know it sounds stupid and cliche, but I just want to get better. I want to keep improving.
