For me, I've learned that the best thing is to focus on the team you play for and yourself and what you need to do.

What the other teams do is something that I can never control, so I just keep focussed on my direction.

Keep doing what you have to do to help the team out.

I'm doing whatever I have to do to help my team win. So, instead of being focused on anything from the outside, I'm focused on winning and that next game.

I just go out there every game and try to be the best I can be for our team.

I think you sign up to win games, and compete, and go out there and lead a team no matter how you can do that.

I just try to do what I have to do and let the people out there do what they have to do, which is have fun, scream, yell and jump around. I try to do what I have to do, which is play baseball, and I can only play in that piece of area there, so that's what I try to do.

When I was put in a situation where I'm going there, you have to look at the team and the possibility that hey, we can probably do some good things over there.

Just think about the game. Think about playing great, having a great time. Helping my team win.

I don't know if I'm different from everybody else, but there's really only two things to me that are really, really important - recruiting good players in the program and developing those players once they get here.
