"Every guy in here goes full tilt the whole game."

"Every time I put on this uniform, I felt like I'm living a dream."

"For me to have this opportunity right now on a club like this and be around people like this is special."

"I'd rather go 2-for-4 with a double and a single than maybe 1-for-5 with a bomb."

"I like interacting with fans and stuff. My dad always said to treat people the way you want to be treated."

"I love it here in Detroit, I really do. I've really enjoyed my time here."

"I'm a normal guy blessed with the ability to hit a baseball."

"In Colorado I had a real long at bat - foul, foul, foul. The next one was a ball. I thought it was ball four, and I went all the way to first. But it was only ball three. I went back to home, and the fans were getting all over me. I raised my hands over my head and everybody started laughing." - On his most embarrassing moment

"I really don't look at myself as any kind of celebrity or anything like that....I'm just kind of along for the ride."

"I've always felt I was a pretty good hitter, and I expect a lot out of myself. I expect to hit .300 and be a run producer."

"I want to be a tough out and battle, battle, battle."

"Maybe early on in your career, you think, 'I have to be somebody that I'm not.' I'm not that guy. People always ask me, 'How come you don't hit 35, 40 home runs?' I never have. I drive in runs. You can drive in two runs with a single just as well as with a homer. And I will hit some home runs. I have the power. I'm just a gap-to-gap, line-drive swinger."

"When you hit third, fourth or fifth, you've got to be a run producer. With guys on base, it's your job to get them in. That's my role, and I've been able to do it so far."

"If Sean ran for mayor, he'd win." - Jim Bowden

"I think Casey could get out of bed in the dead of winter and hit." - Jeff Datz

"The thing you like to see is that he uses the whole field and is very aggressive." - Tony Gwynn
