I heard that. As soon as he hit it, the place went silent so you could hear it for a little while.

I just put a good swing on it. I can't really tell you why it went out of the ballpark, but it did. I wasn't trying to go up there and hit a home run, I was just trying to hit it hard.

I just think that if we play the way he tells us to play, we'll win.

I love playing first base. It keeps me in the game.

I really used that season as a learning experience. I tried to stay as sharp as I could physically by taking extra batting practice. It was a really big year mentally, though. I was able to watch major-leaguers play up close and ask a lot of questions. It really prepared me to eventually play at the big-league level.

I remember watching him when I was growing up. Just to watch him go about his business was huge.

I think once you understand the length of the season and what happens, the biggest thing is you have to learn to pace yourself,

I think this might be different.

I was expecting it to skip off the grass faster. If I catch it, the inning is over.

I wasn't surprised. I was more disappointed that they only protected 37 guys on their roster. All of my success is predicated on everybody telling me I can't do this or that. It's given me a chip on my shoulder to prove people wrong.

I would love to meet him.
|
I'm amazed at what he's doing.

I'm just happy for the opportunity to play ball every day. I would rather just get in, do my job and get out without dealing with all of the questions. But I guess it comes with the territory. If we weren't winning, nobody would want to talk to me then. And that's the most important thing.

I'm looking forward to the opportunity to be playing for Jim Leyland. Just his track record alone makes him demand respect from the start. He's a proven leader, and he's won everywhere he went. He doesn't care if you are a rookie or a 15- or 20-year vet. You play the game hard, and you won't have any problems.

I'm lucky if I get two in a year, let alone in back-to-back at bats. It's all kind of overwhelming. It's been a great week. What else can I say.
