I don't really have a whole lot of tools. I guess I have to have a little bit to be in the big leagues, but I play more on heart and I give my all. I can't really point out one tool that really separates me from anybody else; I'm just a baseball player, I guess.

I don't know if one day could change the perception of me or not. I seriously doubt it. I'll try to stay humble about it.

It?s still sore. It?s hard to make a fist.

I'm happy to find a home, especially with the Reds, a great organization with a lot of history. It's an exciting time for me now.

I kind of expected something was going to happen the last couple days, but I'm surprised it's with the Reds. I'm really happy to be here. I just want to come in here and help the team out and be a part of it. It's nice to have a home and feel wanted.

We built that lead and I think that gave us some confidence. We've been struggling a little bit as of late, and it was definitely good to get that lead to start with. It got us off on the right foot.

Normally it's day by day, but, seriously, it's minute by minute around here. I have no clue. I haven't had one person say anything remotely close to what's going on.

As an outfielder you have to produce. That's what you're out there for, pretty much, to drive in runs.
