That was a great start to the game, it really got everyone up from the beginning. We just kept building on our play from that point on.

That loss last year made us mad. We want to beat S-K this year. We have the confidence, knowing we have a great chance at making the playoffs.

I feel pretty good about it. I'm pretty blown away actually. I didn't ever really think about anything like that. I didn't even know they had the award.

There are some tremendous players who had some tremendous years so I'm very honoured,

I'm making strides. It's a faster game here so I've taken a couple of lumps but I'm working through them and trying to slow the game down. It's one thing learning to play a new position in the Minor Leagues. It's another trying to play a new position in the big leagues. So I'm trying to stay grounded about the whole thing and not get too caught up in trying to be perfect.

I feel pretty good about it, ... I'm pretty blown away actually. I didn't ever really think about anything like that. I didn't even know they had the
