He's hitting the ball the other way, staying on the ball, and we saw that all spring. It's a much more consistent approach and for a guy who's not going to play as much as he did last year, you have to have that approach. You can't get too pull-happy.

He's going to battle just like he has every year. Nothing's been given to him ever. This organization has always been in a position where we're trying to win. He's never had the opportunity to play every day and he's had to fight for everything's he's gotten and this spring it's going to be the same way. He's going to be fighting for his at-bats and to make a team. He's a very talented guy and usually you don't have a guy that talented in a situation like that.

We've talked about it since last year. Hopefully at some point in time it evens out. We'd like to think it will.

We'll consider a lot of things, and in the next day or so, we'll have a better idea.
