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

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.

You've got to set high standards for yourself.

I've had to work for everything I have, and I'm not going to stop. The minute I feel I've made it, I'm done.

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.

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 don't think there's any way you can worry about how many errors or how many bad plays you've made. You can get into a fielding funk just as quick as you can hitting.
