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.

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

You just can't wake up out of bed and think you can figure out a gym. You definitely need some personal training.

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

I just have to be myself, and not worry about everyone looking at me and watching.

I think the body responds to more reps better than heavier weight. As long as I got those reps in three or four sets, it didn't bother me and I could come down on the weight. Teams didn't want me to do it as much, but that's just the way it is.

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.
