Matt has been a good big-league player. We'll make the switch to get him some at-bats ... give Jeremy time to regroup. If Matt swings and plays the way Matt can, it will make things interesting.

It's kind of been perplexing not to be able to get Matt the at-bats.

I don't know if there is anyone in the American League who has played the position better than Jeremy. He certainly has played well for us.

He wasn't getting many at-bats, and he didn't have any prospects of getting more at-bats. We like him a lot and we'd like to keep him in the organization.

He's just a good player. He's a good hitter, a good defender and a good baserunner. He's a tremendous role model for all our younger players.

Offensively, I think we hoped for a little more out of Jeremy and I know he expected a lot more from himself. Defensively, he gave us more than we expected. He's going to get better at the plate, but he showed us he can play the heck out of center field.
