I hated farm work. I always got stuck with the jobs my father and brother didn't want to do.

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

I'm not one for a lot of media attention.

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.

North Dakota is a great state. Everybody is real supportive up there. I couldn't ask for a better place to call home.

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

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.
