I really used that season as a learning experience. I tried to stay as sharp as I could physically by taking extra batting practice. It was a really big year mentally, though. I was able to watch major-leaguers play up close and ask a lot of questions. It really prepared me to eventually play at the big-league level.

If you can hit .300, it's something. It doesn't matter if it's your first season or your 15th, .300 is a good year. If I can get that done, that would be great.Chris Shelton
Trust me, I've been paying attention to all of the people that I've been compared to. I don't deserve to even be mentioned with players like that.

The biggest part is to come out here and try to improve myself in every aspect of the game and try to get myself ready for the season. Obviously I want to come in here and make the team and we'll just go from there.

I'm just happy for the opportunity to play ball every day. I would rather just get in, do my job and get out without dealing with all of the questions. But I guess it comes with the territory. If we weren't winning, nobody would want to talk to me then. And that's the most important thing.

A lot of it comes from Opening Day at home. Hopefully I play well enough that I get more attention even though I don't like it, that means I'm playing well.
