Unfortunately, I'm not 185 and 6-3 and can run and catch fade routes all game. I do the dirty work. I'm all good. I'm thankful for it. Somebody's got to do it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Hitting .400 is something you can do by yourself. But you have to rely on guys getting on base at the right time to drive in that many runs.
I'm not here just to walk two rounds or four rounds and just show up. I want to be able to be competitive, and I truly believe I can still be competitive when I'm playing well and feeling good.
Honestly, the type of runner I am, I'm a physical guy, and I try to set the tone early in the game, so you're going to see it a lot in the first and second quarter.
You know, I'm just 6'9" and 260. And just so happen to be very good at playing the game of basketball.
Unfortunately, I only have time to play 15 to 20 rounds a year. I'm a 6-handicap but can play to a 16, no problem.
I come to spring training and just try to do my job, try to do the best I can. That's all any player can do.
I'm not particularly good at running things when once they get to a certain level. Once it gets routine, get me out of the way.
In those one-off games, everyone can do those, but you put together a six, seven-game tournament, the strong survive. For me to still feel good from beginning to end, that's a testament to how I train and what I do.
I might have a great game hitting, but if I'm not having a great game fielding, if I feel like I let a guy get an extra base that I could have stopped, that's something I've got to do better, got to get better at.
I'm a guy who can play all three downs, and I excel in all areas of the game.
