For my money, he's the center fielder next year. I felt that he was capable of doing what he's doing. To me, the only question was offense. He's seemed to show that he can handle himself here. I don't know if he's going to hit .330. But he's a good enough hitter. Defensively, he's a prototypical center fielder. He runs everything down. He's not afraid of the wall. He'll dive. The center fielder's job is to catch every fly ball that is hit. You have corner men to help him out. That's the way he is.

In general, that's probably as good as he looked in a long time. Unfortunately, his stamina isn't built up to where we'd like him to be. But it was nice to see him back in somewhat of a pretty good form.
