There's a lot more to playing in the big leagues in New York than just the baseball part.

I'm very confident in what I do, but I'd like to think I don't ever show any kind of cockiness or overconfidence.

As soon as baseball becomes a job, as soon as I stop caring, as soon as the smile goes away, I'll hang up my spikes and do something else.

Baseball is the reason I have my apartment, baseball is the reason I'm on the cover of video game. Baseball is what I do.

When it’s all said and done, I want to be able to say I got the most out of my potential. I don’t want to look back, however many years from now, and say, ‘I wonder if I would have worked a little harder. I wonder if I would have done this or done that, how things would have turned out.’ I want to, when it’s all said and done, be able to put my head on my pillow and say, ‘I did everything I could do — good or bad.’

I take positives out of negatives all the time.
