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

I'm not sure where my career is going here in Cincinnati.

You can tell your uncle stuff that you could not tell your dad. That is kind of the role of an uncle. I feel very much like a father sometimes but sometimes I feel like a teammate.

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.

Everyone has a budget, I don't care who you are. But they said if we are in a pennant race in the middle of the summer they are going to get some help with added payroll.

The fundamentals of baseball haven't changed, but how we can teach those fundamentals has. With an e-book, learning can be more rewarding and fun.

That's what baseball is all about right there, a matter of will.
