Chris may have a little bit of an edge because he's played some in the big leagues and had some at-bats, and did a nice job for us as an extra outfielder last year.

You don't expect guys that's in the big leagues to come down here and try to be a part of our team again, and see us do well, and maybe go all the way. That's been the trademark of this club, how well they've got along and pulled for each other all year.

That was a very aha moment. It was, 'I'm in the big leagues.'

Do they want an extra infielder/backup catcher who has never played in the big leagues? For them to choose me, it's a bold decision. So for me to win a job, I've got to do more than open eyes. It's got to be a no-doubter.

Chris really missed him -- a lot. I played a lot more with him, but it wasn't the same. And I wouldn't play no video games.

You have to hit the fastball to play in the big leagues.
