He is his own boss when it comes to that. He has been since I've been here. He knows what he has to do with BP, outfield, running. So far it's worked pretty good for him and for the team.

He does not have to hit home runs. It is the fact that he will be in the lineup. Not only will the people attending the game be watching but people all over the world will be watching.

He makes it look so easy, it's almost like a joke.
