“As much as I think the sports world loves to try to predict everything, there are still some parts of it that can't be predicted.”

“I always go back to when I was a kid and thinking about playing in the big leagues, so now that I've played in a thousand games, it's a cool accomplishment.”

“I'm really into playing games on my phone.”

“I think that's what's obviously so great about sports - it allows people, families, communities to come together.”

“I'd like to say I'm a thinker. Sometimes I try not to think too much, in certain aspects of the game. But I enjoy being involved in each play on defense.”

“Coming from a great college program like F.S.U., everybody had one common goal, and that was to win. You get into the minor leagues, and whether it's right or wrong, it's a selfish game.”

“Let's say, for example, I'm playing ball but I decide to slack in school. I feel like that's going to carry over to baseball, that mentality. So I've always tried to put my nose down and just give everything I've got in whatever it is I'm doing.”

“I don't play the console games too much. I did a little bit growing up, but what I enjoy about my iPhone and the mobile games is you already have your phone with you, so it's easy if you're on a bus ride to just take it out and play.”

“I'm just humbled Hank Aaron even knows who I am. Growing up in Georgia... he's a legend everywhere, but even more so there.”

“I've seen how quickly a season can be over from injury.”

“I think anybody that has caught before understands the grind of catching, not only the physical, the nicks, the wear and tear of squatting for nine innings night in, day out, but just the mental grind of working a pitching staff. It's demanding.”

“You usually feel a little bit better when you are hitting a few more homers. That's just the way it goes.”

“If you can put a guy behind the plate that can hit in the middle of the order, it's just obviously gonna lengthen your lineup so much.”

“Obviously, the World Series run in 2010, that's something you can only dream of as a kid, so to have it actually happen is just unbelievable.”

“I like the style of National League baseball. I like the different moves that have to be made. I like the fact that the No. 8 spot in the lineup can be one of the more challenging spots. It's a lot more strategy for that hitter and for the catcher sometimes with the pitcher coming up.”

“I'm not ever going to be a big bat flip guy. I don't really care. But the guy on the mound might care, so that's a risk.”

“I've been a fan of golf for a long time.”

“I want to be as productive as possible, however that is, as productive as I can be for the team the rest of my career.”

“To me, getting a chance to meet Yogi Berra and knowing how long he played and what he accomplished... I'm a huge fan of it. I'm just as enthralled as anybody else. Maybe a little bit more, because I understand the difficulty of what he accomplished.”

“That's still hard for me to believe that I've been on a team that has won three championships.”
