He wanted me to be more vocal, ... I've got to be a captain out there. I've got to take control.

Mike Barnett

What you look for in a captain is pretty obvious. You look for someone who's been with the organization for a period of time, who has the durability to be in your lineup each and every night, who has the skill level to back up their comments, ideally with ruggedness to step up and support his teammates. We looked at all those things, and clearly the decision was unanimous.
