What I need as a player is just to get at-bats, I think.
I'm going to consistently hit anywhere between .290 and .310. Anything above that, I'm catching breaks and finding holes.
I know about winning batting titles.
The old saying was, 'Boggs never drives in any runs.' I played in 155 games. I led off. That's 155 plate appearance where I come up with nobody on.
I'd played more right than left in Double-A, I think.
It isn't that hard to get RBI's when you're hitting home runs, you generally get a least one.
Sometimes offense wins. Sometimes pitching wins.
I don't know what my numbers are as a DH, but the fact that you're sitting basically for three hours and 38 minutes of a baseball game, you're hoping you get four or five at-bats.
Baseball has always been filled with negative statistics.
I always try to have some good at-bats. Home runs come once in a while; that's good.
I didn't think much about batting average when I was playing.
Baseball is the only field of endeavor where a man can succeed three times out of ten and be considered a good performer.
They say baseball's a game of failure. Well, that's only true on the offensive side.
I know that my job is to score runs, and I will continue to do that.
I'm just trying to score as many runs as I can each time. The more I can make over a hundred, the better.
You're not going to hit a bunch of three-run homers every game.
My goals are to hit .300, score 100 runs, and stay injury-prone.
