You've got to set high standards for yourself.

All I know is that when I come to the ballpark I'm going to be on time and give 100 percent. I know that I have to do that to keep my job.

When you're getting $2,000 a month in the minors, it's hard not to eat Taco Bell every day.

Baseball people think they can find athletes with good bodies and teach them to play baseball. What's wrong with giving someone who already knows how to play baseball a chance? I think I fall into that category.

I've seen plenty of ballplayers way better than me, but they didn't have the work ethic. It comes down to how bad you want it.

The last few weeks we had been playing poorly, but hopefully we can ride this all the way through Halloween.

What's there to be nervous about? You just go out and play the game.
