I'm very mechanical, so if I have one thing that's going in the wrong direction when I'm hitting, it's hard for me to get a hit.

I'm just another player that comes in and comes out. Everybody's time is up at some point, I don't think that's my problem. I'm just going to keep on trying like I normally do.

I'm a winner, I play to win, I want to make good things go on around me.

Everybody has something to prove each year. Everybody has a responsibility in this game. Even the batboy.

Everybody goes through some tough times in their life, no matter what you do. Man, I've had my tough times.

I just love the feeling from the fans and when I'm walking on deck I can hear people screaming and wishing you the best. That puts you into the game more than anything.

I know in my situation, my mind works more than everything else. I've been like that my whole career.
