My goal is never to go pole-to-pole. My goal is to stay in the middle of the field.

Possessing the ball in the middle of the field is our main goal. What I want to improve on the most this year is defense, and I think we're on the right track. Everyone on the field is playing defense really well.

I really used that season as a learning experience. I tried to stay as sharp as I could physically by taking extra batting practice. It was a really big year mentally, though. I was able to watch major-leaguers play up close and ask a lot of questions. It really prepared me to eventually play at the big-league level.

With caffeinated beer, you can be wicked drunk and stay awake. It can be the middle of the night and I'll want to run laps around campus naked.

The only thing I can say is that spectators need to stay off the field,
