My biggest adjustment has been learning not to be afraid to fail.

There's not too many teams that can succeed on and off the field together.

I blame myself every night we lose.

There's no way I can go play for the Yankees, but I know they're going to come after me hard. It's definitely not the most important thing to go out there for the top dollar, which the Yankees are going to offer me. It's not what I need.

I feel like I've been a Yankee my whole life.

The most important thing is to have fun.

I'm no George Brett, and I probably never will be.
