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 blame myself every night we lose.

I just go out and play.

I like to make an impression.

I wouldn't mind being a hero to a kid. I grew up idolizing players, so I know how important that is for a lot of younger kids.

I try to walk around with a smile on my face.

What we really need is for me to get hot and stay hot. When I go, this team really takes off.
