With the players that we have, we've got a staff that's able to take us to the next level. The final answer is what the manager's going to say. There's not going to be any other influences. We know that Jimmy Leyland is the captain of this ship.
We knew what kind of outfit we were going to do Bo in because he's just a big strong dog.
We knew we wouldn't be able to use the Garland lot as of last year due to all the construction. We had started thinking of alternative locations then.
I did a lot of bad stuff from the age of 18 to 21. Those are days when everyone is usually in college doing a lot of stupid things. But since I was playing baseball, I was in the spotlight. I take full responsibility for doing things that I shouldn't have been doing. And I appreciate the second chance that the Twins are giving me.
I don't ever want to be where I can't just walk into a mall and do what I want without a crowd coming up a round me.
I don't think too much about awards.
I need to be more under control. I need to calm down a little bit so I can cut down on the little silly errors I get.
There's no half-assing anything you do if you want to do it well.
Sometimes I try to do too much.
I have no clue what my stats are. Records are for after the season.
I've never been one to look at numbers or think about stuff like that. The only numbers I worry about are wins and losses-that's always been my biggest priority.
Being the number one pick was a great opportunity and meant a lot to me.
We need to dream big dreams, propose grandoise means if we are to recapture the excitement, the vibrancy, and pride we once had.
There is no brilliant single stroke that is going to transform the water into wine or straw into gold.
