I don't feel right unless I have a sport to play or at least a way to work up a sweat.

I'm not thinking about Barry right now. I've answered those questions.

Didn't come up here to read. Came up here to hit.

Last year, we were looking for guys who could play right away. This year, we are still thin at some spots, but we are looking for players who can make our program better.

The thing I like about baseball is that it's one-on-one. You stand up there alone, and if you make a mistake, it's your mistake. If you hit a home run, it's your home run.

I never smile when I have a bat in my hands. That's when you've got to be serious. When I get out on the field, nothing's a joke to me. I don't feel like I should walk around with a smile on my face.
