Before, baseball was something to do to get ready for the hockey season. Now, people look to play baseball, period. It's something you stick with.

I'm not out to prove anything to anybody.

I like to see a lot of pitches just to get a feel for being in the batter's box and seeing pitches.

I can do a little bit of everything, I'd like to think.

I'm still pinching myself. I am very grateful of the way things have gone.

I don't really like the limelight.

It really tests you as a person as far as whether you can handle failure.
