"A lot of people wanted me to play college football, but I wanted to get started playing pro baseball."
"I feel like I've been blessed with some athletic ability and I'd like to take advantage of it."
"If I were Commissioner for a day I'd change the rules so that you get credited with a sacrifice if you get a runner from second to third on a fly ball or on a ground ball."
"I had some tough times. Now that I look back on it, I'm very grateful for those times. I know now that I needed them. But at the time you think, 'Man, I wish I could just get to the major leagues!'"
"I just go out every day and try to work hard."
"I'm excited about where I am right now."
"I'm just enjoying playing baseball in the major leagues."
"I'm not a guy that sets a number of goals. If I can go out and continue to have a consistent approach every day and get to where I feel comfortable enough. Then I go into a game, relax and play, the numbers will take care of themselves."
"I'm not that big of a partier. I wasn't concerned about missing out on things in college."
"I never really worried about stats in the minor leagues. I was more concerned with getting better and bringing a positive attitude every day."
"I've put in a lot of time, but I should have a lot of time ahead of me, too."
"I want to keep things simple and keep my energy focused on moving forward."
"You get into pro ball and you realize all the guys were the best players on their teams. You have to keep moving forward."
"You have to look past the cool things and play the game. That's why you're here, to play the game."
