acting happened hit stupid thinks time wants whatever
I think it's kind of stupid he still thinks about that. It's something that happened a long time ago. He's still acting like a kid. Whatever he wants to do next, that's OK, I guess. What is said is said, what happened happened. He hit me, no big deal. It's part of baseball.
body five past records test
I think it's kind of bulls---. It's not right. The past is the past. I don't know if you can test a body from five years ago. They didn't have records back then.

I think it's because there's more energy around the clubhouse. Guys are kind of pulling for each other a little more.

apology chance guy heard john knew second since type wish
I haven't heard anything like that since John Rocker. I think an apology is not going to be enough for that type of comment. I've said things I've regretted, too, and I wish I could take them back. I would give a guy a second chance if I knew him better, but I don't know him.

hit hits home monster next player start sudden year
If you have a player who doesn't hit home runs, like me, and all of a sudden he has a monster year and hits 40 home runs, and the next year hits 50, and the next year hits 40, you start to wonder.
base gets good tremendous
He's way better than I thought he'd be. He was a good player, but I didn't know he had that kind of power. He's been tremendous for us. He has power, gets on base and can run.
guy period
He's the kind of guy who can come back after a two- or three-month period and do what he's used to doing.
games strikes
He works fast. He throws a lot of strikes. That's what an infielder loves. It gets you into the game.

The Gold Glove surprised me a little. To tell you the truth, I didn't expect it. I feel I played at the top of my game, but I was new to the league and I didn't think that many people would vote for me.
