The last couple of years I have worked some things out offensively and it's gone fairly well. There are some things where I have room for improvement. I think with enough AB's I will show that I can be an offensive force, but who's to say exactly what that will be. I know that I won't just be an out in the batter's box.

I was 30 years old and I had four kids and I had to decide what happens if there's no more baseball? So, last year was going to be my last year if I didn't get a considerable of time. And, well, things worked out.

(Brandon) Webb is a premier, No. 1 (starter) in this league. I felt I put some good at-bats against him.

He didn't get enough credit. Winning 14 games as a rookie is not bad.

He's been outstanding since he's been here. He's focused. He came out tonight, located his fastball well, stayed ahead of hitters, kept the ball down, changed speeds when he needed to and showed a nice curveball, something he hadn't thrown too much before.

I knew that if I ever got here and got an opportunity, that I would be able to stick around and make an impression. It's nice for that to happen here.

He gives up a base hit, no big deal. He gives up another hit, no big deal. Next pitch, groundball, double play and there you have it. It's a no-panic approach.

I'm just trying to make solid contact right there, and I got a slider over the plate and put the barrel on it.
