I'm a slow starter, but it's time to flip on the switch.

He's so locked in, but he's worked at it. He was a perennial slow starter until this year. All that tells me is he has a chance to have a big year.

He's been a notoriously slow starter, but you can't let yourself get caught up in that. He's not, but that's been the history of the way he performs. He's working hard. Sometimes, he gets a little too cerebral at the plate and starts thinking too much. When that happens, everything seems to slow down.

We started off real slow this season, but we wanted to put ourselves back on the map.
