I'm a baseball player. I'm also a guy who mows his lawn and plays with his dog.

Defense is a lot more natural to me than offense.

My dream was to play Major League baseball. I've lived that dream.

I hope I haven't reached a pinnacle...I hope there's something more for me in baseball and in life.

Different people, different backgrounds, different ideals... We walk in different doors at the beginning of the day, and we walk out of different doors at the end of the day. But when it is time to go out on that field, we all go through the same door.

I hope I haven't maxed out, because I'm not satisfied. I hope I can be a better ball player, and I hope I'm on my way.

I actually don't think that I have a problem playing for managers. But history, people might think otherwise.
