I'm a New Yorker now, and believe me, there's no comparison between the Big Apple and Kalamazoo, no similarity at all. New York City's hectic, always in fast-forward, and Kalamazoo's more laid-back, smaller, slower.

If I put my name on something, I'm going to be involved. I'm not just going to put my name on it and not pay attention.

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 want to own a team one day. You know, that's my next goal.

I can see how people work out to feel better.

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.
