I like playing on this team. We actually been doin' real good. Got a different mix here. Most important thing is you gotta keep pickin' up in paces. That's why we're playing contentious play. We got top names, guys can still hit in the majors, guys been out of the game hittin' the ball, shockin' it. Don't have no old, old guys. Not sayin' they don't get a good job done. Fact is, they've been vice versa. So that's incentive right there. It's been a plus.

My goals are to hit .300, score 100 runs, and stay injury-prone.

I was brought up in Florida, so there isn't much difference between playing there and playing here. The climax are about the same.

These guys are so old they're eligible for meals on wheels.

Pitching is 80% of the game and the other half is hitting and fielding.

Out of what... a thousand?

Ain't no sense worryin' about the things you got control over, 'cause if you got control over 'em, ain't no sense worryin'. And ain't no sense worryin' about the things you don't got control over, 'cause if you don't got control over 'em, ain't no sense worryin'.
