I just have to be myself, and not worry about everyone looking at me and watching.
My focus is on a ring, and giving the best individual performance I can.
I just don't feel like I'm old. I still feel like I've got a lot of years, a lot to give in this game, and I'm able to do it because I love to work.
A lot of guys are free swingers, but I'm up there looking for a specific pitch.
Money doesn't motivate, but stats do.
As you get old, you live and learn.
I always try to overachieve. I feel I have something to prove every day.
The Big Hurt describes me perfectly-not as a person, but as a player. It's what I do to a baseball.
Observe Everything. Communicate Well. Draw, Draw, Draw.
I'll finally get some real work in. It will be great to see live pitching for a change.
I put a lot of stress on the front foot when I hit. If I'm healthy, you're going to have a special player.
I'm real close to ready now. I can get in there with the big boys now.
Once I go on the field, things will be in place.
I'm not prone (to injuries) at all. I had an unfortunate injury and I was surgically repaired. I chose to come back maybe a month too soon. Now it's feeling a lot better. The point I'm at now is a little better than it was when I returned last year.
