I truly believe that baseball is such a repetitive game. You play this game every day and people ask me how you get better at it. Well, you take a lot of ground balls and you take a lot of swings, over and over and over. Repetitious. I truly believe that I get into the routine because I expect to perform well every day. I'm going up against the best every day. There's no room to slack off. People expect you to play your best, so I go through a routine to prepare myself so that I know I'm physically and mentally ready -- prepared for the game. Where I can say to myself, "OK, I'm ready."

He's as good a young player as anyone I've ever seen come into the big leagues. He's tremendous. One of the very best young hitters I ever saw. He's a smart kid and he knows all about hitting. He went to Georgia Tech where he was on the Dean's List, and when I finished talking to him I felt I was on the Dean's List of hitting because he knows plenty, he really does. I asked him my usual questions about all aspects of hitting. I like to get young hitters stirred up to find out what they really know. And he knew everything! He's really a brilliant kid.

I remember hitting him ground balls in spring training a couple years ago and thinking to myself, "Geez, if this kid was around when I was playing, my butt would be on the bench, and I'd be doing what I'm doing today: watching in amazement at how good he is and how many things he can do.

If you give me another chance, I'd like to be like Nomar (Garciaparra), a shortstop, and hit 30 homers every year instead of pitching. Pitching isn't easy.

Numbers are irrelevant to me. They don't mean anything. I never liked them. I don't need a stat to tell me if I had a good game.
