My goal was to go to college and come out the best player.

I went to college for a reason, and that was to skip the minor leagues. I spent a year in the minors and got my at-bats in, and then I felt like I was ready for the big leagues.

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

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

I always lift weights very heavy and spend a lot of time in the weight room.

No matter what I do on the baseball field, no matter how hard I try to be a good player, no matter how hard I try to be a good father or a good husband, I can never do enough. I can never be perfect in this world. But God's there to tell me that it's not what you do, it's whom you believe in and it's Him loving me.
