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 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.

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 can't listen to what people say about you. If you do, you're never going to get anywhere in life.

Pressure is only what you make of it and what you put on yourself.

I've heard about my size all my life. It makes you work that much harder. It's gratifying to prove them wrong.

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.
