I love Tumi because of the lifetime guarantee. And their luggage is just so solid. Looks good. Versatile. My carry-on bag is Tumi. My hanging bag is Tumi. My big suitcase is Tumi. All black....

It’s tough when your No. 2 starter goes down, and you trade the most popular guy in the clubhouse. A lot of things happen over the course of the year. Hopefully, good things will happen.

We are still young, but at the same time we are experienced. Most people think of young as being inexperienced, and that’s not the case here.

I’ve never even talked to him [Daniels]. I can’t have much issue with a guy I’ve never even talked to. But I can say this: We haven’t won as much as we’d like to in...

I was always a neat kid. I never wanted my hands dirty. I wasn’t a dirty kid. A lot of kids like to run around. If I was rolling around the dirt, I went home...

I want to win more than anybody. You put us up against the rest of the world, and I’m going to want to win even more.

I’ve never been more unhappy as a Ranger than the last two weeks. Nothing’s going right. A lot of things are going on, and none of them are positive.

I’m a Baltimore guy. I’ve always loved Baltimore and always will love Baltimore, but baseball is baseball, and when you’re playing on the opposing team, you’re going to get booed.

It was nice to break through and get a lot of runs.

It’s not a fun process. There is no need for the team and a player to be on opposing sides a week or two before spring training. It’s good to be on the same page.

If he hits his spot he probably gets me out. You can’t expand the zone against him. He’s one of the best in the game. I was lucky enough to get a pitch over the...

I want to be the player who hits home runs, drives in runs.

It’s crazy and it’s funny. It’s an outrageous comment, an outrageous claim.

What I like about this year compared to last year is that I really haven’t had a lot of fluctuation from big highs to big lows, … When you do that, your team can count...

I’m not one of those crazy collectors – I don’t have a hundred watches. Only five or six. But I do like to wear a nice watch, especially if we’re on the road and I’m...

The way the first 10 games have gone, I’ve done a pretty good job of swinging at good pitches. That shows in the lack of strikeouts. Anytime you swing as hard as I do, you’re...

Maybe that’s it. Either that or there was a flaw or defect in the baseball. I hit it hard but … I don’t know if I could take credit for that.

It’s a real honor to be included among the list of finalists, when you see the names that are there, … Some of the guys who won the Hank Aaron Award in the past are...

I have a lot of watches that need to be kept wound, so if I take two of them on a trip, there’s always one sitting around. And if it sits around for a day,...

best hitter in the game

He is a guy that is capable of carrying his team with his bat. He kind of gets hidden in our lineup. He is in a zone right now, and when you get that way,...

I’ve been very fortunate to play for four great organizations, but New York really takes the cake. Wearing the pinstripes is something that’s very special to me, and it’s the greatest organization in sports history.

I think we have to feel good. We started the season playing pretty poorly all around. To be where we are right now, we can’t complain.

That could be it exactly. The first day, I didn’t sleep at all. The second day, yeah, a little bit.

If that’s not working, I don’t know what is. The players have said all along we believe our system is working.

Being from Baltimore, I’m a crab cake snob, and I’m very particular on where I eat my crab cakes.

I have no problem with the arbitration process.

When the swelling goes down and the pain goes down, we’ll see how it goes.
