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

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.

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.

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
award.
