Christ always had a passion for whatever He was doing. That's how I try to define myself as an athlete. That's the example I try to follow.

I want my teammates to see that I'm following Christ. But, I'm also human, so there are times I slip and make mistakes but I know Christ forgives me.

I wouldn't play in Minnesota unless my career was at an end and I had to go to Minnesota to play the game.

My faith is what makes me strong. Without faith, there are only low times.

I try to walk like Christ in my life. If I strike out, I don't curse, or throw my bat or hit things back in the dugout, I try to quietly just put my helmet back. I may be very upset but I try to control myself.

I attribute being a good center fielder to many things, but being outside with friends as a kid, running around and racing, that was a big part of it.

I mean, I think we are a better team than last year offensively, but there is always a question with the Minnesota Twins. We'll just have to wait and see.
