Fortunately we had the wind going in our favor. He got it up in the wind. On a given night, it doesn't go out.

He'd been having a good year down in A-ball, and he's showing why he's up here. He's got a nice short, little, simple swing. He's just finding the barrel every time.

He's staying simple and within himself. He has a short swing that is working.

They'll get much sharper. Always that first week coming out of spring training you have days off and travel, and generally pitchers aren't as sharp because of the difference in routine.

If he had never played first base, it would be a tougher transition for him. He seems comfortable there, and I think he'll be fine.

They have the pieces. The thing is to come together. Not one guy has to do it every night. They don't have what the Yankees have -- the instant machine of guys who know how to win. We have to have the same swagger as the Yankees -- 'We know how to win.' That's the kind of attitude you need when you come to the ballpark. That's what it's all about.
