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.

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.

I like to have fun, and the only way to have fun is to win.

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.

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

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.

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.
