It's made me work a little bit harder because I want to stay on this time. I want to play every day. Last year I really didn't prove I could.

I probably would have got him out with a good throw on a bang-bang play, but I couldn't get a good grip on it. It's one play, and I'm not really going to let it get to me.

I rushed it a little bit. I couldn't get a good grip on it. It was a bang-bang play, a 50-50 shot. We had talked about it right before that if it was a ball to me, I was going home no matter what. If he was staying I wasn't going to turn two. I knew I was going home the whole way, I just couldn't get it quick enough.

I tried to come at it a different way this time, ... Make them put the ball in play [and] cut down on walks.

It was the first time I've ever seen Ronny play. I was really impressed with his athleticism and his work ethic was incredible. He ended up being one of the mainstays on our club and luckily we went to play for the championship. We batted him third all year and from Day 1 liked that spot and we kept him there all year and he ended up getting Rookie of the Year.

I play everybody the same amount of ice time. We work as a team and play as a team.
