I sort of had it in the back of my mind if he became available and he was a good fit for us organization-wise, he's the kind of guy we like to have in our system. He's a good worker, a good person off the field. He plays the game hard and plays to win. |
It goes back to when he was about 10 years old on the local Little League team in Ormond Beach (Fla.). He played on some competitive teams and sort of stood out as a youngster. He had more power than most of the kids and was a pretty good athlete. You could tell very early on he was a good athlete. |
