approach capable focused fully hard intend percent point priority starting sure work
It's not something I take lightly, but there's really only one way to approach it. I'm going to work as hard as I can. My first priority is to this team, and to make sure that I'm 100 percent and can play the way I'm capable of playing. I'm fully focused on that. I intend to get myself to that point and be ready, starting today.

It's fun, it's something I like to do. It's not to intimidate anyone, but if they think it is, that's them. It's for the fans more than anyone because they like it.

It's important to have a whole spring. I always thought spring training was too long. The last two years it was too short. I'm looking forward to going out and playing.

It's important for the whole lineup to hit. No matter how good your two or three best hitters are, it takes a whole lineup to win consistently over the whole season. It's never one or two guys that carry you.

We're a product of our parents, whether we like it or not.
