“Every time I put on this uniform, I felt like I’m living a dream.”

“I’ve always felt I was a pretty good hitter, and I expect a lot out of myself. I expect to hit .300 and be a run producer.”

“I’d rather go 2-for-4 with a double and a single than maybe 1-for-5 with a bomb.”

“I really don’t look at myself as any kind of celebrity or anything like that....I’m just kind of along for the ride.”

“I want to be a tough out and battle, battle, battle."

“I like interacting with fans and stuff. My dad always said to treat people the way you want to be treated.”

“When you hit third, fourth or fifth, you’ve got to be a run producer. With guys on base, it’s your job to get them in. That’s my role, and I’ve been able to do it so far.”

“I’m a normal guy blessed with the ability to hit a baseball.”

"I love it here in Detroit, I really do. I've really enjoyed my time here."

“Every guy in here goes full tilt the whole game.”

“For me to have this opportunity right now on a club like this and be around people like this is special.”
