I always took my workouts serious because I have a football background. I came from football, so when I got to baseball, I continued my football workouts in the offseason.

A lot of guys are free swingers, but I'm up there looking for a specific pitch.

I take a lot of pitches. Some guys hate to do that.

My maturity level is rising. I think there are certain situations that I'm handling better than in the past.

I always try to overachieve. I feel I have something to prove every day.

Observe Everything. Communicate Well. Draw, Draw, Draw.

I just don't feel like I'm old. I still feel like I've got a lot of years, a lot to give in this game, and I'm able to do it because I love to work.
