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 want to play every game of my career in an Astros uniform.

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.

It is, ... kind of a softball atmosphere out there.

The mark of a good hitter is someone who hits the ball hard, often. And if you run into a few home runs, that's fine.

If you gave me a choice between being married and being a baseball player, that's a no-brainer. I would be married any day. I just love it.

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.
