I've wanted to manage a long time and I've been moving in that direction.

I'm always writing at night - things I would change, things I would do differently. When I write a note, it sticks in my head differently.

Good teams I played on... just the tone that they play with, the energy they play with, how they go about it. When you get it going the right way, you get everyone going in the same direction and it's a powerful thing.

I can't concern myself with what's going on with the club or what the media is writing. If you pay attention to those things, that's when you get yourself in trouble.

I don't know what to say other than you're really honored another team is looking at you.

I like being close to the bats.

I have had many occasions this year where I questioned and second-guessed my decision in a game, but it comes down to learning from mistakes and being accountable for what you did right or did wrong.
