From everything I've heard and read, I feel comfortable. But no one from management told me I'm the fourth outfielder, so I'm a little on edge. |
He's a silent assassin. He's a big man and can be intimidating, but he's so soft-spoken. But you always know when he's around. |
I feel like I have a good at-bat and then a bad one. I'd rather have four good at-bats and do four things with the ball. Of course I'm going to take my hits. |
I hope that's what is going to happen. A little play like (Rollins' hustle play) changed the whole aspect of the game. |
I saw Jimmy keep shuffling around there. That was a big play. |
I was in middle-school - or younger - when Kenny started playing and he's been a great player all these years. |
It was a tough play to make, going to my left. He was probably thinking there was no way I could make that play. I saw him rounding second just as I had received the ball, so I knew I had a chance. The situation turned out for the best. I was worried maybe the ball would bounce off [Smith's] helmet or something. |
It's in his character. He wants to be that guy. He wants to carry that load, and that's a special characteristic to have. |
September was definitely a confidence booster. Having a chance to help the team with some at-bats here and there during a pennant race was nice. |
That's one thing that he wants us to do here, play solid. Making little mistakes here and there will cost runs. That's what he wants to stress more than anything else. Wins look good, but if you don't do everything fundamentally sound, you're not getting anything out of the spring. |
There's always doubters in this game. |
Whatever makes him feel comfortable. I'll do it every day if he needs it. Whatever it takes for him to get to 56. |
Whatever my role is, I'm going to do my best. It's all I ever wanted. |
