It feels real good to do what I do. That's why I was happy in there. I'm very encouraged.
I think there is a lot of good in making the All-Star Team. People look at your career a little bit differently.
You don't need a special talent. You just need to be a good listener. It is so simple and can make a big difference in a child's life.
It's a good moment, but not in the middle of a four-game losing streak. I missed a lot of baseball the last two years. Thank God I'm back playing.
I totally forgot but that's a good sign. I could go a couple more days (in the minor league camp) and then not be afraid to do it. I'm not experiencing any pain, only a little soreness from running.
Swish is a real good kid and he likes to have fun. He has a pleasant attitude and he's just a refreshing piece of energy. I tell him, 'Don't think, just react, and let your talent take over.
It was good to go back and forth, seeing a lot of pitches. After the second at-bat everything felt normal.
It was a strange year. It happens to one team each year, where everything goes your way. It was a good team last year, but we had a lot of things go our way. We had so many one-run victories. In years before, we always lost those games, or we'd lose half those games.
I come from good stock. Both of my parents are big - my dad is a big guy; my mom is a big lady.
Like I've always said, it's all about timing. I'm ready now. I feel comfortable. It's close. It was good to see a little more movement on the ball.
Last year, I came back too early. This year, I'm following orders and taking it one day at a time. I want to be ready on April 3.
I saw a couple of pitches and slowed everything down and hit the ball hard. I was embarrassed my first time up, but the nice thing about baseball is you can turn it around the next time.
I think he's become a better pitcher. He really concentrates on spots more than just blowing you away.
That would be a tremendous career achievement. If batter does that, he enters one of the elite groups of baseball.
