I put the ball in play. That's what I want.

I have to work hard for my family. They don't have a lot.

I like triples-when I hit a ball in the gap, all I think about is a triple.

I'm the leadoff hitter, it's my job to lead this team. I know people say the way I go is how the Mets go, so I'll do whatever it takes.

I feel a lot more comfortable at shortstop, but it's no problem, I'll move to make room.

I try not to pay much attention to what people say-I just try to concentrate on the game.

Patience is very important, especially at the plate.
