I'm at the point in my career where to be a winner is more important than any individual things.

Individual statistics, plate time and everything tend to come, but the most enjoyment I get out of baseball is actually winning.

For me, I tend to sit back sometimes and just count my blessings because of how long I've played.

It's good to know you're working for someone you're familiar with, who's a friend and he has your back and you have his back also.

I think hitting is more a mentality than a philosophy. A philosophy is somebody telling you the way they think it should be. Well, different people believe in different things. My thing is this: Be ready to hit.

Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional.

I don't think much about whether fans will remember me.
