I don't really like the spotlight.

I don't really like the spotlight.

I'm definitely not the most graceful person out there. I've always been taught to play hard. I don't know how not to play hard. But for some guys it just looks easier. For me, it's not that natural.

The majority of the time with two strikes I'll choke up on the bat a little bit to try to stay as short as possible. It doesn't always work out like that, but that's the goal.

Hitting at the top of the order is a good thing. You get more at-bats. I'm excited to see how this develops.

I could care less if people talk about us or not. We know what we can do here. It's an exciting time for us.

Before, shortstops and second basemen were mostly defensive guys that made all the plays and didn't really hit that well. But now it's beginning to change a little bit. Now, shortstops and second basemen are very productive in terms of run producing.
