I guess it was making it as far as we did in the tournament. I don't know if I could say there was one game, but I think they said, 'This guy deserves it.' Fortunately I was one of six or seven guys that got in there at the last minute.

I am looking forward to coming to Columbus and helping any way I can.

I've made a lot of adjustments from last year -- I got into a long swing mode -- [but] it feels really good now. Offensively, I took a little bit of a step back and had to get it back going in the other direction this year.

Talking with our agent and everything, we're all pretty confident. We could play in the A-League if we didn't make the MLS.

It was probably because of the fact that we made it so far in the tournament. It gave coaches a chance to see what I could do. Thank goodness they gave me a chance.

I don't know why he wouldn't have gotten picked up. Maybe it's a speed issue. But he scored close to 40 goals in two years and it never was an issue.

We talk about things. I learn a lot from him about the outfield, because he's a good outfielder. He really helps me out out there. Hitting, we pass things to each other. It's just fun having somebody there with you to go through the same things.

Lance and I were talking, and it would have been an amazing end to our college careers and the beginning for hopefully a long MLS career. But I'm almost positive he'll be taken in that supplemental draft in a week or so.

I would love that, that would be fun.
