That's the reality of it. Everybody has a big two or three. The health of those big two or three ... there's a lot riding on it.

I think walks are overrated unless you can run... If you get a walk and put the pitcher in a stretch, that helps. But the guy who walks and can't run, most of the time they're clogging up the bases for somebody who can run.

I'm not a guy that sits around and does nothing.

On-base percentage is great if you can score runs and do something with that on-base percentage. Clogging up the bases isn't that great to me. The problem we have to address more than anything is the home run problem.

The only people I ever felt intimidated by in my whole life were Bob Gibson and my Daddy.

Let them police themselves, and then it goes another step past them to my coaches and there a coach that is responsible for a different area and different category on the field.
