The first couple of years in the minors were tough for me. My numbers were there, but being away from home so young was tough.

I grew up a Phillies fan. Me and my buddies tailgated a couple of times when they won the World Series. I like just being in that atmosphere.

I always dreamed of making it in baseball, but life has moved pretty quickly for me.

No curfew. I live in the basement. I got everything I need. Home cooking ... it's awesome.

As I get older every year, I'm eating better. As a kid, who can turn down chips and candy? But I'm getting better.

I just keep thinking about putting up good numbers, playing hard and winning games.

I think people keep baseballs in their cars, just to be prepared in case they see me. It's cool to get recognized in public; it's an incredible feeling.
