"Even though I was a kid, I could see he was all about playing hard every day. I knew if I made it, that was the type of player I wanted to be-a guy who could lead by playing with a lot of fire."

"Him [my dad] bringing me to the clubhouse when I was young helped me out because I see what they do in baseball and what it's about. He pretty much told me all this stuff when I was younger. Now it's just a matter of doing it."

"I am known mostly as a home run hitter, and I am O.K. with that. Whatever anybody wants to see me as is fine. There are other parts of my game, but I can't make people notice those things. I can't do anything about it, so I can only play hard and hope they notice the defense and some of the other things."

"If there's a man on second, I'm trying to get him in with a base hit. The doubles and homers will come. Sooner or later they'll go out naturally. I'm just trying not to do too much."

"I heard it all. They didn't think I could play. They thought all I could do was hit homers. And nobody thought I could be a good first baseman. I'd love to know what they're saying now."

"They really make you focus. This is your job. If you have a family to take care of, you don't want to lolligag. You want to make sure you continue to have that job."

"They told me, the Brewers feel good about you if they're going to trade a guy like Lyle. It kind of made me feel good. That's a compliment in itself. Lyle is a great player. I can't try to play like Lyle. I'm just going to do my thing. Hopefully, that will be enough."

"When I got called up, I felt like I was home."

"You've got to have some fun before games or you make the season too long. We don't start work until seven o'clock. If you're game-ready at three, it's not good for you. This is the only way I know how to do it."

"He grew up in the game. This may be just his second season, but it's like he's got over 20 years of experience. He's come in here and produced, no doubt. But he's done more than that. He's made this his team." - Geoff Jenkins

"He has an outgoing personality. His laugh is infectious. Once you hear him laugh, you can't help but laugh too. Everybody here is in love with him. He's not too big for his britches. As much as he was around the major leagues as a kid, he doesn't believe he's bigger than the game." - Damien Miller

"He's a special kid. He's fearless. He plays with passion. He plays with desire. He understands that you step on the field and give your best effort, and you don't cry about it after that … he's a real baseball player." - Ned Yost

"He sees himself as a big league player, he knows what he has to do to be a big league player. He's a better athlete than you might think." - Jack Zduriencik

"If I had to choose one player in the game to be the leader of a team, it would be Prince, because of what he brings on the field and in the clubhouse with his personality. He was put on this earth to be the cornerstone of a franchise." - Matt Wise

"In our estimation, he is one of the best players in the country, and, without a doubt, the best power hitter in the country" - Jack Zduriencik

"I think he probably could hit 45 or 50 homeruns. I think he can do some things that personally I was never able to do and some of the other ball players were unable to do. He is gifted with tremendous strength. He can hit the ball to left field, center field, right field." - Hank Aaron

"I was a power hitter. I swung and missed a lot. Prince can hit. You can't compare him to me. He's a different breed of cat. He's got the ability to be great." - Cecil Fielder

"People said Prince was only 'a bat,' would only hit home runs. We saw last year how hard he worked to make himself a complete player. The moment he did that was when he gained the respect of everybody else. Now, people don't talk about his defense at all, really." - Doug Melvin

"We liked him all along. In our estimation he was the best power hitter in the draft. But he's not just a power hitter, he's a guy that can hit." - Jack Zduriencik
