Is Coors Field a good park to hit in? Yeah. So are Wrigley Field and Camden Yards. I didn't design Coors Field-I just play there.

I want people to expect more from me because I expect more. If you don't set goals high, you're not trying.

Tarring a highway in 90-degree heat is hard work. This is baseball. Something I love.

When I first came up to the majors and I'd have a bad day, I'd punish myself. I would do something like not eat dinner. Now I've come to appreciate that we play 162 games a year, and you're going to have bad days. And not eating dinner hurts, it doesn't help.

I hate the ballplayer who says, 'I did everything I could have possibly done.' Because if you didn't win it all, you obviously didn't do everything you could have done.

I have never used steroids. Never.

I'm not a guy who is going to make a lot of noise. I hope to lead by example.
