“I was really happy with the year I had. I showed a lot more power than I did (as a rookie). I think I showed that I can hit some home runs at the major-league level.”
“It makes me mad that I missed so much time. I never had any big injuries in the minor leagues. I thought I was having a really good year and it was tough to have to sit out that last month or so of the season. I wanted to keep improving and helping the team.”
