I like to set realistic goals for myself, not outrageous ones..

I spent a lot of hours on the baseball field doing whatever I could do to get better..

There have been some ups and downs, but I'm happy that I've stayed fairly consistent..

I definitely think with a lot of hard work, I can be a better player than I was last year, and hopefully, continue to raise the bar every year..

I constantly try to humble myself; if you don't, I'm sure the game is going to find a way to humble you..

When you're a first-round pick and you get to the big leagues at 22, there's almost a sense that you've got to mature..
