Work ethic has always been stressed in my family. My dad is going to be 80 years old and he still works part time. My mom just retired a couple years ago and she's in her mid- to late 70s.

I've always approached spring training as I have something to prove.

Physical therapy is part of my offseason routine. That has helped me greatly.

Souderton was a good town to grow up in. Everybody knew each other.

It was a dream come true to be drafted by a pro team and have the opportunity to play.

I probably didn't put forth the effort I should have put forth, didn't realize the value of education until I went to college.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, which people don't seem to be shy about expressing.
