MVP, you could have picked a name out of a hat... we have a group of MVPs. You don't rely on one guy. You have to get contributions from everyone.

So many people are insanely busy nowadays, and it's easy to say, 'Ah, I'll workout tomorrow.' But you have to set aside a time and stick to that schedule.

I always take criticism as a challenge. It's the way I've always looked at it.

This is why you play - to get an opportunity to play in the playoffs.

If I'm shifted two steps toward third base and the ball goes up the middle, people say I have no range to my left. That's why those statistics aren't accurate. You're changing for every batter, sometimes with every pitch. You really can't make one statistic for every shortstop. You have to go by what you see.

The big difference for me is that, as I get older, I find it's a lot easier to stay in shape than it is to get back in shape.

I'm not perfect; no one is perfect. Everyone makes mistakes. I think you try to learn from those mistakes.
