He's so valuable coming off the bench. Sometimes you need guys off the bench rather than in the lineup every day. We have a lot of infielders here. He could probably play every day somewhere else.

He's very valuable. When I got hurt he stepped in and did a great job. Last year when Bobby got hurt he did a great job. You have to have guys like that on the team.

Huge. Playing here is like playing in Texas; you never have enough runs. I don't know how many times I've seen [the Red Sox] score a bunch of runs in the eighth or ninth inning to win games here. You just can't give them any breathing room.

I can't understand why Westbrook's record isn't better. He has great stuff. His sinker is tough to get a swing on, and he had more bite on his curveball today.

I didn't know it until (Mark) Kotsay said if you get the chance, keep on running. I don't think I got a hit after that. So it's Kotsay's fault.

I don't think they had huge expectations for me coming into the season, ... That's all right because I had a serious injury and this is a major league team. They have to put somebody out there who's going to perform. I was pretty motivated anyway. I was definitely motivated to come out and have a nice year.

I don't want to put a number on it, but being within two games or less of [the Angels] would be ideal. We know people will show up next week against Anaheim.

I felt really good. I saw the ball well. Sometimes you just walk in there and see the ball well.

I just feel good,

I just feel good. I didn't think anything of it until (Mark) Kotsay said, 'If you get a chance, keep running.
|
I kind of knew that it would take a while at the beginning of the season because I hadn't played for a whole year, ... I was hoping things would progress and my arm would get stronger as the year went on, and everything I've expected to happen has happened so far.

I love the top of the order. You're pretty much guaranteed four at-bats. The more times you can come up, the better. At the same time, just being out there every day is the main thing. We have a lot of interchangeable parts. There's no holes in the lineup. Wherever they put me is fine.
|
I never had any doubts about coming back. I knew I could come back and play,

I try to figure this team out, and if I could, I'd be a genius. We're all swinging the bats well at the same time, or we're all not swinging the bats well at the same time.

I was almost positive it would be a one-year deal, so I was a little surprised yesterday. I'm happy.
