Defense usually doesn't make many headlines, but it goes a long way towards winning baseball games. There are a number of ways to make an impact during the course of a game, and playing solid, sound defense is one of them.

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

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.

So is work ethic. You do things over and over again, and when you get in a situation you like to think it comes natural. I think there has to be a mind-set that you’re not afraid to fail. I’m not afraid to fail. I’ve done it quite a bit. The calmer you are, the more the game slows down for you, and I think part of that is controlling your emotions.

I will never brag about myself, but my family, I can go on forever.

If you're going to play at all, you're out to win. Baseball, board games, playing Jeopardy, I hate to lose.

I can see how people work out to feel better.
