I did a lot of bad stuff from the age of 18 to 21. Those are days when everyone is usually in college doing a lot of stupid things. But since I was playing baseball, I was in the spotlight. I take full responsibility for doing things that I shouldn't have been doing. And I appreciate the second chance that the Twins are giving me.
I don't ever want to be where I can't just walk into a mall and do what I want without a crowd coming up a round me.
I don't think too much about awards.
I need to be more under control. I need to calm down a little bit so I can cut down on the little silly errors I get.
There's no half-assing anything you do if you want to do it well.
Sometimes I try to do too much.
I have no clue what my stats are. Records are for after the season.
I've never been one to look at numbers or think about stuff like that. The only numbers I worry about are wins and losses-that's always been my biggest priority.
Being the number one pick was a great opportunity and meant a lot to me.
We're tired of being a young team with upside. We believe our time is here.
We saw enough to make us think we've got some very fine tackles.
We knew there was no way we could look for a mortgage with a $500-a-month car payment.
We keep the taunts clean and respectable. One of us is going to eat crow that night.
We need to dream big dreams, propose grandiose means if we are to recapture the excitement, the vibrancy, and pride we once had.
