But at the end, as he said it, it's up to me.

It's up to me to get back here.

And we will help him.

He's going to get his at-bats.

He'll play the majority of his games in the outfield.

Like I said, we got to get the offense going.

There were some things that

we felt comfortable with during camp.

But I'm not concerned, but the strikeouts going up and the walks going down, that's not him.

This guy that controls the strike zone, he didn't swing a miss, and that didn't happen during camp.

What do you guys think of just the outfield play and reps on everything?

It was okay.

I mean, he didn't have too many reps.

The work was good, and he'll be fine.

But we gotta go down there and

show the people that you're the best athlete on the team and you're the best player on the team.

You've talked about infield defense here for a long time.

How better do you feel about your infield defense now?

We've been talking about for five years and then when the season comes, we struggle.

So I feel good like every year, we just have to perform.
