I want to hit the ball and I want to get at-bats. The results really dont matter to me.

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.

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

I love the Twins, ... I bleed the Twins. That's all I know. If I go anywhere else, I'd be a foreigner.

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.

For me, as a Christian I will be uncomfortable because in all my teachings and all my learning, biblically, it's not right.

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