The more positions you can play, the more ways you can help the team.

You take a couple of days off, and your swing is going to be off. I think it takes 15, 20 at-bats to really feel comfortable again.

I'm understanding how to use my swing and working in the cage every day to repeat what I'm doing. Just not trying to do too much.

Every day before the game, I know what I want to do. The days I feel off, it's knowing what it is I want to do and getting it back.

I've said it before, every day in the cage, I'm trying to be consistent and keep my load and keep my body right and my mind right.

That's how baseball works. You put some good swings on the ball and it goes out of there.

I hate when pitchers get me out multiple times. It's probably an ego thing, but I don't like that.

It's hard being an everyday player.

Sometimes, there is not a lot of pressure, so you can relax.

I love playing center.

I played right field in Minor Leagues a lot before I started playing centerfield.

When you're not hitting and they're making good pitches, it's hard.

I love going to San Diego.

It's a game to be enjoyed. For us, it's also a business - it's a job. But you play better when you're having fun.

I don't really miss pitching in games, and I don't think my arm could hold up. I would still love to try the radar gun, just not pitch on a consistent basis. I'd love to go and try to fire up the gun, though.

There's definitely more pressure to get the first hit when you are 0-for-8 to start the year.

For me, I know the game is a humbling game, so I don't get too high or too low.

I don't really do it on the field, but off the field, I use it to my advantage. I'll talk a lot of smack.

I'm going to keep playing the way I do. I don't think anybody can tell me how to play; I always play hard.

I thought the Little League fields were big. You look back now, and its obviously the smallest field you can play on.

I always felt defense was a big part of my game.

If I can't help the team offensively, I can help defensively.

You never want to see a guy go on the DL.

I'm still learning about my swing more. I continue to learn, with the help of my hitting instructors.
