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

My favorite book in the Bible is always Proverbs because it's where you can find wisdom for no matter what you're going through. It hits me every time I read it. I've always read Proverbs regularly because it helps me deal with what's happening every day in real life.

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.

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 just didn't have no edge for baseball. Once special coach Tony Oliva and former Twins coach Al Newman told me what happened, I couldn't function.

I'd rather save a home run than hit one. I've always been like that. Defense is what I pride myself on.
