“After last year, I had a terrible year so I definitely want them to know that I can still play at this level. I think it was just everything. Not being used to the role of coming off the bench and lacking confidence. A lot played into it.”
“I didn't really do very good at the beginning adjusting, and then the second time I got called up I adjusted a little better. Still it's a tough situation for me because I've never been in that situation because I've been used to playing every day in the Minor Leagues. My goal is to eventually get an everyday spot here.”
“There are a couple of guys that can back up those spots. But with me having a bit more experience at the big league level, I think that could play out in my favor as well.”
“I'd say it'd probably be a long shot. I'm realistic. They're going to give him every chance in the world. You've got a veteran guy. The last thing they want is another young guy playing the infield.”
“You want to get off to a good start and get going and put up good numbers out the gate, so everybody wants to have success on opening day. That's what makes it fun.”
