I don't have any control over it. I don't have the power, the pen or the paper. I just get my work in. I don't do anything but get my work in.

I wasn't the only one struggling. They made changes that screwed me. I'm not young; I'm not saying you should just give me respect, (but) you can't just whip me around, make me a whipping ball for anyone.

I guess everybody wants to hit that long ball, I don't know. For me, (stealing bases) is what got me here and it's what got me 10 years in the big leagues.

They never gave me a chance to do anything. It's easy to put you on the back burner. It's easy to say someone didn't do anything when you don't give them a chance.

I was the guy they could get - what could I do? That's the Yankees, though. The blame is always on somebody else other than (where) it should be.

Just to play, for me, is special. I take pride in playing. I know I can compete.
