I'm not that big of a partier. I wasn't concerned about missing out on things in college.

You have to look past the cool things and play the game. That's why you're here, to play the game.

I try to work hard. I try to set a good example. I don't look at it as though I've got to be a leader. I just try to behave the way I think I should behave. If that results in a leadership role, great.

I never really worried about stats in the minor leagues. I was more concerned with getting better and bringing a positive attitude every day.

We had a lot of adversity, but we found a way.

I just go out every day and try to work hard.

I'm not a guy that sets a number of goals. If I can go out and continue to have a consistent approach every day and get to where I feel comfortable enough. Then I go into a game, relax and play, the numbers will take care of themselves.
