I knew it was my last year on the 40-man roster. I knew I had to do something or I wouldn't be on the team. Or they would trade me. I just tried to work hard and do something in spring training to show them I would be good. |
I waited for my turn here because this is the team that gave me the opportunity. If they want to trade me or something, that's not my decision. I came here to play baseball. |
I was trying to look for my pitch. I just try to do my job and swing the bat. |
It feels a little better [Saturday]. |
It feels good right now. Right now, I feel happy. |
Last year I knew I had to hit to stay in the big leagues. I did a lot of work with T.P. [hitting coach Terry Pendleton ] in the cage. This year, too. That helped. I feel comfortable from both sides of the plate. |
Not bad. Things are going pretty good for me right now. |
Oh, come on. I'm just trying to go up there and see good pitches. |
