I don't try to hit the ball 500 feet. It looks good when you hit it 500 feet, but as long as it goes over the fence, it's a home run. When you swing hard, it takes a little bit of recognition away from you. The power you're trying to increase - you're not all the way through it with your vision.

I'm just trying to work hard every day, trying to be a better player and one day, to be right there with them, one of those special hitters.

I'm going to be done when I've decided that I'm done.

Sometimes when you're fighting, fighting, fighting, the mind needs some time off and you regroup and get back to normal.

I showed people that it's not about guessing what people can do. It's about saying, 'Here, show me what you can do.'

I just want to play baseball.

I'm the kind of guy that I never forget my teammates.
