anybody baseball bit guess heart point separates tool
I don't really have a whole lot of tools. I guess I have to have a little bit to be in the big leagues, but I play more on heart and I give my all. I can't really point out one tool that really separates me from anybody else; I'm just a baseball player, I guess.
exciting great happy time
I'm happy to find a home, especially with the Reds, a great organization with a lot of history. It's an exciting time for me now.
couple expected happen happy help home last nice surprised team
I kind of expected something was going to happen the last couple days, but I'm surprised it's with the Reds. I'm really happy to be here. I just want to come in here and help the team out and be a part of it. It's nice to have a home and feel wanted.
drive
As an outfielder you have to produce. That's what you're out there for, pretty much, to drive in runs.
doctor fine sore took
The first X-ray, the doctor said, 'It's broken,' and he showed me the X-ray. I told him that was an old injury, and they took another X-ray. It's fine now, just a little sore and swollen. I'll play tomorrow.
hard
It?s still sore. It?s hard to make a fist.
bit built definitely gave good lead start struggling
We built that lead and I think that gave us some confidence. We've been struggling a little bit as of late, and it was definitely good to get that lead to start with. It got us off on the right foot.
