Yeah, I'm financially good for the rest of my life - great. But I'm not trying to come here, get my butt kicked for 10 years, and go home to a lavish lifestyle. That's not fun for me.

You're not always happy with things that go on in life on a daily basis. There's nothing I can do. You've got to deal with it and still take care of myself.

I thought it'd be different. Kind of like, a lot of weight lifted off of my shoulders, as I don't have to worry about finances for the rest of my life, or my family's. But it wasn't like that. It was more - there's things I need to get done.

I don't need to go every day and re-evaluate, 'Am I living up to this? Or that or this?'

The one thing I didn't understand was the Minor Leagues, how that part of the business works. I'd see Todd Hollandsworth out there one game, and the next game he wouldn't be there, and I didn't understand.

I like to connect with fans, usually positive stuff. If there is negative stuff, you just look past it and talk to the people that appreciate you.

We've got to trust that we are all in it to win it.

Everyone has the answer. Everyone has this. You just got to move slowly. You get good little bits of advice and go from there.

That is where I got my childhood memories, watching the Home Run Derby as a kid. Maybe some kids are watching me. I would like to return that.

You can't change the past with a couple good months.

I'm not going to change the way I work out in the offseason and prepare. I'm not going to change the way I approach the game. I'm not going to change the way I play every day.

We don't just say this every spring training - 'Playoffs, World Series.' You've got to do it.
