Nobody wants to have that kind of reputation. But I deserved it (to be reprimanded), Some of the players talked to me about it too.

I haven't been feeling very comfortable at the plate lately. I'm making little adjustments to get to that point. I wasn't feeling comfortable and didn't have confidence in myself.

I don't want to say that I'm patient and I don't want to say that I'm in a hurry. I'm in between that. I want to play every day. I know I can do my job as an everyday player, but it's their decision. Any opportunities that I get, I'm going to try and do my best and show them that I can do my job.

I've got to understand that I'm going to split time with him now. Anytime I have a chance to play, I'm going to try to do my best.
