Some of the things I've done are really special.
None of the teams that actually probably were offering me a job from the getgo, actually in spring training, are in the playoffs right now.
My brother never got an opportunity to throw a pitch, and I didn't want the same thing to happen to another young kid.
If I wanted to pitch that bad, I probably would. But I don't think I'm in that stage.
If you want to follow some good steps, it would Proverbs, all over.
I just try to do what I have to do and let the people out there do what they have to do, which is have fun, scream, yell and jump around. I try to do what I have to do, which is play baseball, and I can only play in that piece of area there, so that's what I try to do.
Actually the adrenaline of the game will probably help me out a little bit to regain command and concentration about the things that I have to do.
Before, if I wasn't in baseball, I wanted to become a doctor.
Every time I feel mad or something, I run somewhere. It gets my frustrations away. I run and run and run.
I'm not in the big leagues just because I'm cute.
I believe that if you're healthy, you're capable of doing everything. There's no one else who can give you health but God, and by being healthy I believe that God is listening to me.
