I just show up to the yard, work hard, and play as hard as I can.

I hope to play for the Red Sox a long time.

People always ask me if I wish I were bigger. I tell them no. I always wanted to be a miniature badass.

Just because somebody swings one way and I swing another way doesn't mean he's better than me or I'm better than him ... Does my swing get hits? Yes.

I hang in there all the time. I'm not afraid to be taken out. I think that's the biggest thing to do-just stay in there on the double play.

I put the blinders on and just work as hard as I can, and hopefully I'll just continue to be a better player.

I don't like losing at anything. Why should I?
