I'm consistently making adjustments. You're going to have to do that in the postseason, too.

Sometimes, you just feel like you're just surviving for parts of the season.

I'm not a cleanup hitter. I'm just batting fourth.

You're not going to hit a bunch of three-run homers every game.

You just have to keep grinding.

I felt like in Tampa Bay a lot of people thought we were overachieving.

I can't take 200 hacks in the cage before the game. Not because I'll get tired, but because I'll hurt myself! I can't do that. I might get injured.

If you're free of mechanical thoughts and free of knowing that your body and bat are going to be in the right position at the right time, you can freely focus on the ball. It's a great feeling.

When I'm at the plate, I'm not thinking about what I'm trying to do with the bat - I'm thinking about what the pitcher is trying to do with the ball.

My favorite day is relaxing at home with family and friends.

Each new day has a different shape to it. You just roll with it.

I spent so many years shuffled around. I'm used to it and can deal with it.

I'm a manager's player, in a way, because he can use me in a lot of different ways, and I'm willing to do that.

You don't get a chance to go to the playoffs and World Series very often, but to be able to experience it with the people you love most in the world is really fun.

I just try to be the player I am.

I just try to focus on one step at a time, what I have to do or what the team has to do to get here.

As I get older, I just need to continue to make sure I'm staying in peak shape and taking care of my body the best I can.

I know what I need to do to prepare myself, and I try to do the best I can to take care of my body and prolong my peak years as a baseball player.

We've got to win a championship and bring a World Series trophy back to Chicago.

For me, it's not so much about picking the right position; it's about the team.

I played a lot of right field with Tampa.

I've been back to the Kansas City area a lot in the past. My sisters went to college in the area. My brother went to college in the area. I've got friends there, so there's some ties to the area.

Anytime you put your mind on the results, you lose something in the moment.

One of my best friends, James Miller, managed to find the only Cubs hat that is all red.
