I know Koufax' weakness. He can't hit.
If I have to win one game, I’d have a hard time taking anybody over Dustin Pedroia as my second baseman.
The test of an outfielder's skill comes when he has to go against the fence to make a catch.
I think I play center field better than I do anywhere else. I have enough speed and enough reaction to know where the ball goes off the bat.
I still feel like I can play defense at first base at a very high level.
I think we match up with anybody because our pitching. In a short series you run your big three out there or four out there. That generally is what wins a series - pitching and defense. If we can catch the ball and not give away any runs like we do sometimes.
I got Neil Walker now as my new second baseman. He's great. He looks comfortable there. He knows what he's doing. That's the second baseman you want to play with.
Weak arms don't cause you to lose games. When you hit, be sure to get on base. Then no one will care about a weak arm.
I am a great admirer of Yuvraj and Kaif. They have generally been able to pick up the scoring when they come to bat at numbers six and seven. They also are livewires in the field.
There are some players I always watched, various players who I knew hit the ball well.
You can ask every coach from Ron Gardenhire to Dave Clark, anyone who has seen me play, they don't know why they say I'm a bad defender.
We're pretty good at putting bunts down and really good at hitting. I know as a pitcher, when you face a pitcher you know can hit, that's not fun. I think taking pride in that, and being able to hit helps your own cause.
Because I could throw so hard when I got to college, they made me a pitcher. If I had to it all over again, I would have stuck to playing in the outfield. I loved running. I can catch everything in the outfield. I could throw people out from the fence.
If I could help the pitcher as much as I can, or I could save three to five errors a year with my defense, then that's just a big help for my teammates.
I think the Angels could use me the most. The Angels don't have a day-to-day first baseman.
If you take any player in their position, there's nobody better than Mookie Betts in right field. I'll take him over a short stop at their position. That's how good he is.
