I almost feel guilty. The physical toll is tremendous. Im exhausted and I only played nine innings.

When I started to play consistently and produce consistently, that's when I knew that I could compete and do well in the big leagues.

I've always liked doubles. When you scald the ball on a line to the gap, I think that's about as close to a perfect swing as you can get.

I want to be a guy who produces runs, who drives in runs, who can beat you with a single or can beat you with a home run, who's just a tough out.

I was raised in church by Christian parents and I was baptized when I was 11 years old. But I didn't really have a good understanding of what the Gospel was really all about until college.

Theres a little more margin for error this year. Last year, it felt like we had to win every game. That wasnt a lot of fun.

God has given me a lot of ability to play the game of baseball.
