I go out every day and try to play great defense. I know my hitting will improve.

My mother made sure we stayed involved in the church and the things of God. My relationship with Christ came about through that and the influences of my mother and grandmother helped my faith to grow.

You name it, I've got it. Some players have to be 100 percent (to play), but I don't.

Spring training is for getting to know your teammates and forming a chemistry. I dont like it.

With faith, I know that everything will be taken care of. Even the difficult times become learning experiences to help make my faith stronger.

I ate the Green Monster. It tasted pretty nasty. It was pretty painful.

When I rely on my faith, I know God wants to reward and bless me but not because of some great act that I did but because of who He is.
