Just Putting My Uniform On Keeps Me

I Was Disappointed In Everything - My Start And The Team's Start. People Got Down On Me, But I Never Got Down On Myself. I Still Believed I Could Be The Type Of Player Everyone, Including Me, Thought I Was Going To Be.

I'm Being Compared To The Impossible. I Never Saw Mays, Aaron Or Clemente Play. What About The People I Face Every Day? Tim Raines Is The Best? Mattingly Is The Best? Why Not Compare Me To My Peers?

Life Is Too Short To Worry About Anything

I've Been Hearing This Since I First Joined The Reds Organization, That I'm Going To Be The Next This Or That. It's Tough On A Young Player Coming Up. You Show Some Positive Things And Everybody Jumps On That And Says You Should Be The Next Willie Mays.

I Could've Played Basketball, But My Mind Was On Baseball. I Didn't Know What I Was In For. In High School It Was A Matter Of Talent. No One Told You What To Do.
