I am trying to set a record for most cross-country flights
You learn to deal with adversity and success ... I think guys who have played up here for five, six or seven years have mastered that. It's always great to watch those guys have a bad at-bat and then come back and have a great one. Or, have a great at-bat and put it behind them. I think that is the consummate professional.
If I can't be the product they want me to be, if that's not good enough, it's just not good enough, but I can't be who I'm not ... I'm 26 years old. There is no more reworking who I am as a player. I can hit, I can run, play defense, I have some power. I have a lot of power, but I'm not a lofty home run guy. If my 15 or 20 homers, 90 RBIs and my hopefully .300 average, if that's not good enough, then it's just not, and I'm OK with that.More quotes »
