The only problem is getting comfortable with myself. It's different for me, a different team. I have to try to do the best I can, working, trying to get comfortable in the left field and with my teammates, too.

I never think Im going to make a double play in the outfield. But I did it.

Ballplayers are soldiers, and we have to play where we're told to. At the beginning I didn't want to, but I don't have control of the situation -- and after all, I thought it's just for a year.
