runner throw
The runner was all over me. I had to throw the ball, and I had to throw it fast.
compete whatever
I think I've got a chance. We compete for the position, now he's hurt. Whatever they want me to do I will do.
capable hurt
I don't want him to be hurt. But, if I play the way I am capable of, I can do the job.
It's not frustrating. These things are going to happen. You just try to get back quick.
catch feeling good keeps telling
Everyone keeps telling me just catch the ball, just catch the ball, but I know I have to get some hits. And I know I am a good hitter, too. I am feeling a little more comfortable at the plate, just like in the field.
whatever
Yeah, I think I have a chance. I'll do whatever they want me to. I'll be ready.
handle
You never know. I could handle shortstop. I've been there all my life. If I had to, I could.
Defensively I feel good, that's what they want me to do. But my offense, I don't have many hits.
against major played
I played against major leaguers all winter. I know I can play against them now.
five games left time
This is just the beginning, there are five games left and this isn't the time to think that (the title) is in our hands.
next send year
If he comes and they send me to Triple-A, I'll go because that's their decision. I try to play my game. If I stay, good. If I don't, good, too. I'll come back next year and try to make the team.
game
I feel comfortable at short, but if they tell me to play at second, that's where I'm going to play. When I play I don't think about anything. I think 'play the game and do my job', that's it.
