That's a very nice feeling. Last year, I hit 30 home runs and drove in 100 runs but we didn't go nowhere. Right now, we have a chance to go somewhere. That's most important to me.
I'm happy. You have to put up your numbers every year and see what happens. My time is coming, you know?
I have to do it year after year, ... Not just one or two years.
He threw a fastball down the middle, and I think I can hit that. I hit it pretty good.
He almost got it, but I got it over him,
I don't want to put so much pressure on myself. I want to do like I did last year, play my game. I'm going to play hard. I'm not going to put pressure on myself. We're all going to have to play hard.
That's the big question every year -- can I drive in 100 RBIs every year? ... That's what I'm supposed to do. I want to do it every year.
It's a strange situation, but we need to be ready and just play.
It's very important because it's a great award, ... It's awesome.
I have a glove. I'll play anywhere.
Forget the veterans. They havent told me anything, and they better not come tell me anything, either.
High expectations don't bother me at all.
When you've got guys on base, you have to hit. I concentrate on getting it done.
If I worry about what everybody is saying, there is going to be a lot on my mind. I don't want that. I want to do everything I can to play basebal.
