It's kind of different, because I'm used to having Jacque (Jones) and J.C. (Romero) and all those guys around. When I came up in '99, I played with those guys in the minor leagues, so we had the chemistry already. There are a lot of new faces in here. A lot of guys, I don't really know their names.
I still don't understand why we couldn't pick him up. But we missed that opportunity. We have Tony, and we're going to have to deal with that. Pitchers still know the name. He's a threat. If you make a mistake, he will knock you out.
I don't want to be the police of the clubhouse.
We'll try to clear up some things, kind of throw all that out of the way. I'm sure it's gone, but we're going to reiterate it. I don't think we have too many bad guys here.
When you're running a lot in the outfield or on the base paths in games, you're going to be sore. When I do more than I usually then it's sore but every time it gets sore, it's getting stronger.
I'd rather save a home run than hit one. I've always been like that. Defense is what I pride myself on.
I'm older, and I'm better. I'm not old, but I'm older and wiser.
Spring training is for getting to know your teammates and forming a chemistry. I dont like it.
I ate the Green Monster. It tasted pretty nasty. It was pretty painful.
When everything is going good, that's when I know God has rewarded me for my faith.
I want to hit the ball and I want to get at-bats. The results really dont matter to me.
I was trying my best to just stop that ball from going over the fence, I'd sacrifice my body if I have to. I've done that my whole career.
I have the faith that even at my lowest points, there will come a silver lining through faith.
People see dark faces out there, and the perception is that they're African American. They're not us. They're impostors,
