It was the first time I've ever seen Ronny play. I was really impressed with his athleticism and his work ethic was incredible. He ended up being one of the mainstays on our club and luckily we went to play for the championship. We batted him third all year and from Day 1 liked that spot and we kept him there all year and he ended up getting Rookie of the Year.

The first impression I had was hitting ground balls to him and you realized that he was a special person because of his athleticism. You could see how light he was on his feet and how gifted a person he is to play baseball.
