My greatest talent is calmness and being positive. I concentrate on what you can do even in the worst of times. You don't judge by last week's errors or lost opportunity.

My wife accuses me - and she's probably right - that I'm sometimes oversensitive.

As a member of a competitive team, you want to make sure you have yourself ready to play. You don't control anything but what you do.

That's what I'd like to think that my reputation is - being honest.

There will be a time when everyone on the team is going to contribute to winning a pennant.

I feel very fortunate to have broken in with the Milwaukee Braves organization.

I don't think there's any player that's more talented than Alex Rodriguez. He cares very deeply about doing well. Baseball is his life. He puts a lot of pressure on himself.
