That's something we didn't do enough last year -- keep a team down.
errors leagues letting plays team tom tough

feeling guy helpless injuries minor sitting somebody superstar talent team wants
I want to be out there and be involved. You get that helpless feeling when you're sitting on the bench. I don't want to be that guy. I'll take a guy on my team that doesn't have as much talent but wants to play through minor injuries than somebody who has superstar talent but is soft.

I'm going to make errors. That comes with the territory. I felt there were times last year when I was playing not to make mistakes, not playing aggressive. At third base, you have to play aggressive. You're going to make errors. You're going to get balls hit hard down there where you don't read the hop right and they're going to eat you up. But you have to maintain your aggressiveness; you can't start back-pedaling. Most of your moves have to be going in.
haircut matter
It doesn't matter what kind of haircut he has. It's not going to make him look any better.
