He's in a mode where he enjoys being a leader. I think out there he enjoyed it, but here he just seems like he's more laid back and he helps coach a little bit more than just showing by example, which he does already, but then he also talks about what he does.

For me, he really stands out as a guy I've really enjoyed playing with. He enjoys playing the game. He's a tough out, and he does things in the field like he did today.

I think these guys understand what it takes to win. You need everybody.

I think Jonathan Townsend's just sort of stepping into the role that Todd had last year, the leader of the team and the ultimate competitor. He's stepping on the field ahead in most fitness (tests) and leading the team in warm-ups. While we're playing, he's the guy that everybody's looking to go to.

I don't think I fit the Marilyn Maxwell mode.

I think he (Beckett) would have enjoyed it.
