That's not what I want to be known as - a guy who doesn't want to play and is moody.

I came up as a number 2 hitter. My first year I hit 16 homers, and I was like, Whoa, I'm rollin'!

You can't sensationalize a story that is a heartfelt story.

I go out there every day, take early batting practice, fly balls.

There's certain people that you owe it to, for the things they've done for you.

I never want to be satisfied.

That's the best thing about playing defense. I get to see somebody else but myself get mad.

We teach our kids to be fair and things like that and if you make a mistake you apologize for it.

I can't help it if I make things look easy that some people think are difficult.

I think I owe it to the people of Seattle, and myself, to retire as a Mariner.

Everyone should live where they want.

I'm not some person who wants to be treated as a superstar and won't go out and help the team.

To win a World Series, the whole team has to be hot, everything has to go your way.

I'm not a player who beats his own drum.

I won't be upset if I don't win a ring, because I gave it my all.

I do like candy bars, but if I have more than a couple of them I break out.

My mom told me to hang around with the right people. That's what I've been doing. Just taking it easy and having fun.

I just try to keep normal days, day in and day out.

You're only a first-round pick for one year.
