The decathlon includes ten separate events and they all matter. You can't work on just one of them.

We'll probably only consider a handful of individuals. We'll bring up people who can accumulate either innings or at-bats, so we can hopefully gauge where they stand as a prospective Major Leaguer.

You have to be able to be a good loser. You have to be okay knowing you're going to fail every day in something without getting mad and upset.

I call myself a chameleon.

You need to become more than one type of athlete. You have to be a sprinter, a weight man and a distance guy all in one.

I was playing little league baseball when Bruce Jenner was winning the gold but I don't think I was really paying attention at that time.

And there is such a thing as a decathlon high. It's like a rock rolling down hill, picking up momentum. You get better and better.
