I have a relationship with Christ. It allows me to handle situations better. It allows me to treat people better and it allows me to have a better mental attitude towards baseball.

I don't play to prove people right or wrong. I just want to win.

College was a blast. My three years of college were the best years of my life.

The Red Sox didn't handle negotiations with any kind of respect for me and my family, and the Rangers were the total opposite.

It's an honor to be playing with these four players and to be a part of their fifth World Series title and my first.

My biggest thing is I need to see a lot of pitches, which I did today. That's good. The more pitches you see, the better your timing is going to be. But it's going to be impossible to see enough pitches. No matter how many pitches you see, it's still going to be March 6.

I want to be the player who hits home runs, drives in runs.
