I want to play every day. This year will be absolutely no different.

The one thing I always said to myself was that when baseball started to feel more like a job, it would be time to move forward.

I like to hit the gym early in the morning. I feel better throughout the day when I get in a workout first thing in the morning.

I never think about my own stats, as long as I'm contributing to the team.

I like to dance and sing when there's no one around, but, if I'm out, I'm really shy about it. So it takes a lot to get me going, but I enjoy being around music.

I get nervous watching teammates. I get nervous for them. Late in the game, pressure situation, I'm nervous for them.

It doesn't seem like the season really gets under way until you have your home opener
