I'm not one to sit around and be satisfied about something. I can always get better.

We just want to win. That's the bottom line. I think a lot of times people may become content with one championship or a little bit of success, but we don't really reflect on what we've done in the past. We focus on the present.

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.

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

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

I attribute much of my success in New York to my ability to understand and avoid unnecessary distractions.

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.
