The Indians are going in a way they want to go and I respect that, ... I've loved that organization and I still will.

He's been great. This guy is trying to make me a good player. And I respect that.

The strongest thing I put into my body is steak and eggs. I just eat. I'm not a supplement guy. Steroids are not even a thought.

My favorite thing to do is still to go back to Peoria, go to my cabin and hunt with the boys. This is a great lifestyle, don't get me wrong. But fun for me is going back with my buddies I grew up with.

I really enjoyed my time in Philadelphia, and I want to thank my teammates and the fans for a heck of a ride.

It's coming along great. And my back has been great. We're coming along pretty good there.

He was one of my idols growing up. Those guys every moment and every minute that they talk to you, you just sit back and take it all in.

When I leave the game of baseball someday, I want people to recognize that I always put my teams first.

I just want to get this thing healed up so we can get back going in the second half.
