There's going to be a lot less pressure on Carlos this time around. That's why it doesn't matter where I hit. This team is going to score runs, period.

Surprisingly, Utah is the second highest in the nation in the number of eighth-graders taking algebra, but we are still low in achievement. Our state math core only goes through linear equations.

Even now, I'm looking forward to 2009. The fans will rally behind it, and there's more energy and more excitement that surrounds it. I think you have that goal at the end of the rainbow to look forward to, to get to 2009.
balls confidence confident couple early errors felt half last second start thrown work
It's a confidence thing. The second half of last year, I felt more confident and I feel more comfortable this spring. That's the big thing for me. I can work on drills and footwork all day, but if I don't feel comfortable, it's not going to matter. As a young player, especially in New York, you make a couple of errors early and you start pressing a little bit. I've got to relax. I've thrown so many balls over to first base, I can probably do it blindfolded.
next playoffs
The next thing I'd like to experience, ... is the playoffs in New York.
