The fans know and the Cardinals know that I want to be a Cardinal for my whole career. I love this city. The way that this city has embraced me and my family. ”

My life's goal is to bring glory to Jesus. ”

My wife and I love children. We have five of our own. I would ask that anyone who looks up to me would instead look up to God. I am nothing without Him. Everything I do in life and in baseball is to glorify Him. ”

I always say God doesn't need me, but I need Him in my life to survive in this world and over temptation. That's Who keeps me humble every time. ”

It doesn't matter what the scoreboard says. I'm always having fun, talking to other guys. They even come to first base and ask me about hitting. I try to help them out as much as I can in the 30 seconds before the pitcher throws the next pitch. That's me. I don't think I will ever change that. ”

In regards to core training, I try to incorporate the medicine ball whenever possible. As a baseball player, there is a lot of twisting and turning that I will do. Keeping my abs strong is as important as anything else. ”

I think the two most important parts of any athlete's workouts are his leg workouts and his core training. ”

I consider myself a line drive hitter with power. I just try to put my best swing on the ball every time. ”

I'm thankful God has given us the technology where we can see each other through Skype on the computer. It's not the same thing, but at least we can see each other. Imagine the time before when that wasn't available and people had to go defend our country. It's really hard. I go two weeks without seeing my family and I go crazy. ”

I believe it is my responsibility to do what I can for children and people with Down syndrome as well as in my native Dominican Republic. ”
