chicago huge yankees
He's nasty. That's why the Yankees went and got him and that's why Chicago has him now. He's going to be huge for them in the playoffs.
continue defensive
I continue to go out there and work, and I want to become one of the better defensive first basemen in the league.
definitely
I can definitely see why he's such a coveted player.
anyway ballgame control everyday hard help improve playing possible team trying win
I can control going out and playing hard everyday and trying to improve myself, and Carlos is the same way. I can't control what Carlos does. If we're in a ballgame and he's there, I want to try to help him anyway possible and try to help the team win and I know it's the same way with him.
attention feels paid turn unreal
I'm not going to lie. I've paid attention to that a little bit. When you turn on the TV, that's all you see. It feels unreal to put me with all those names.
april balls explain flying special
I'm not going to lie, April was a special month. I can't explain it. I don't know why, all of a sudden, balls were flying out of the ballpark.
alone care demand everywhere forward game jim looking opportunity playing proven record respect rookie track won
I'm looking forward to the opportunity to be playing for Jim Leyland. Just his track record alone makes him demand respect from the start. He's a proven leader, and he's won everywhere he went. He doesn't care if you are a rookie or a 15- or 20-year vet. You play the game hard, and you won't have any problems.
alone great lucky
I'm lucky if I get two in a year, let alone in back-to-back at bats. It's all kind of overwhelming. It's been a great week. What else can I say.
ball dealing guess happy job nobody opportunity rather talk
I'm just happy for the opportunity to play ball every day. I would rather just get in, do my job and get out without dealing with all of the questions. But I guess it comes with the territory. If we weren't winning, nobody would want to talk to me then. And that's the most important thing.
