I'm always alright, as long as I've got [a bat].
If you can stay back, you can wait an extra split-second longer, and then you become more relaxed, and that's when you gain confidence.
I love Minnesota, and I'd love to play my whole career here.
I feel like I'm strong enough that I don't have to do anything to turn on the ball. When I do that-when I'm ready to take the ball up the middle, when I'm willing to go the other way-that's when I can turn on the ball.
You've got to hit 30 before you hit 40.
I don't really set personal goals for home runs or anything like that. However many I hit, I hit. If I'm making consistent contact and hitting the ball hard, then I will hit home runs.
I believe I'm a middle-of-the-order hitter capable of driving in runs. If I stay healthy, I'll get back to that level.
A first-place team? You're always excited to become a part of that.
