I come into every camp with the expectation of playing every day. I always go hard.

The opportunity to be the everyday second baseman - that's why I'm here.

Harry Potter's publishing house has waited until the end of the day to create maximum expectation. This doesn't happen with any other book. There is real Potter-mania in Spain.

I told them from the first day that it was not my goal but my expectation that we would go to the state tournament. There were some doubts [early in the season] and we had a lot of adjusting to do after the injuries. But I think they've adjusted and overcome so much. It's caused them to pick it up and play harder.

They want to use me for whatever they want, probably long relief, pitching day by day.

We're going to give you homework every single day.
