Some guys will walk away from it. Alex never does that. He always wants to do more. He's always the first guy to ask to hit more, see more tape. He's always working at it.
More Quotes from Don Mattingly:
We can make him go out there and take 100 ground balls but then he's not going to be able to play. It has to be the right kind of work.Don Mattingly
The players get no respect around here. They give you money, that's it, not respect. We get constantly dogged and players from other teams love to see that. That's why nobody wants to play here.

It's hard to pin him down. He's kind of the big unknown for us. I personally think he's going to have a big year, but you can't be sure.
Don Mattingly
I think it helps to be away for a while. You're ready to come back. You make the choice, you want to do it. You're not doing it because you have to. As soon as you start getting into the competition of the season, it comes right back to you.
Don Mattingly
The way Alex prepares himself physically and mentally, he's going to hit for power until he's 40 if he wants to keep playing that long. If he stays healthy, he's going to hit 40 or 45 homers a year for a bunch of years.

This guy is working all week and he brings his son to this show, has to pay 2 to get in, maybe 5 for a picture and then 6 for an autograph. These guys have to think you're a real ass with your head down all the time signing.
