How's it going?

It's good.

It's always good to be back in Toronto.

Love it here.

The energy's great right now with the way the team's played last year, so it's always fun to come here.

You're always coaching the player in front of you.

I mean, the thing about makes him so unique is he knows who he is.

Certain guys that come to big leagues.

It takes years to figure that out from day one being around this guy.

He knows who he is.

So it's just a pleasure to be around and I'll tell you what some of the veterans are taking notice and it's a pretty easy message to tell everybody.

Go ahead and put the ball in play, move it forward, because you see the results of what's going on.

Yeah, yeah, our DNA is pitching defense.

So that's acknowledged that you've got to catch the ball to play here.

So it's one of these things that we've got to deal with the skill set in front of us.

We're fortunate to have Cammy, Aranda, and Yandy as the base guys.

Any three hitters in the league will start in any lineup in the league.

So just because we don't get the credit in the media doesn't mean we're not good hitters.

No, I think you just find a value.

That could be different ways.
