If you work hard, good things will happen. I will never be in a situation where if I fail I can look back and say, 'If I'd only worked harder.'

When you get to the big leagues, you need to take potential and turn it into performance. You want to be the guy who got the most out of his ability, not the guy who never fulfilled his potential.

It's nice when you put in a lot of hard work and you're recognized and a few people appreciate what you've done.

It's so much easier when you've got guys on base and the whole offense is clicking.

If I'm asked to play first, I should be ready. It's nice to be in the lineup, regardless of where you're at.

If you work hard, good things will happen. I will never be in a situation where if I fail I can look back and say, 'If I'd only worked harder.'

I've been streaky throughout my career, but I've been trying to become a more consistent hitter.
