You are recognized by your bat. If you are the best hitting shortstop out there, that's how you win a Gold Glove. That's the way it is. It shouldn't be-it's a defensive award.

The bottom line is just that Rickey Henderson was my favorite player. His flair, his style-the key word is impact-he's an impact player.

Even when I'm nervous, I think I'm able to turn that nervous energy into strength.

Passiveness affects everything. It affects you on the bases and on defense. It affects your thinking. I can't be passive.

I've got numbers in my head that I'd like to keep to myself. If I get them or pass them, only I will know.

Physical ability only goes so far. You have to work hard the rest of the way.

My role is to set everything in motion.
