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

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.

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 have a lot of watches that need to be kept wound, so if I take two of them on a trip, there's always one sitting around. And if it sits around for a day, then it'll stop working. And then you have to reset the time and date, which is annoying.

Switch-hitting is one of the greatest things in the world and one of the worst things in the world.

I would tell everyone to go to college, no matter what. It gives you time to grow up.

You can never pat yourself on the back during the season. Then you get complacent, stop working and let yourself slide.
