Defensively, hitting-wise, running the bases. There's always room to improve. That motivates me to get a little better every day.
I'm a very motivated guy.
That's what really motivates me: to make my coaches proud, my teammates proud, and the fans proud.
I know my role on this team, and I'm expected to prepare and to perform every week and play well. I relish that opportunity - to be somebody the guys can count on week in and week out, to play really well. That's what really motivates me: to make my coaches proud, my teammates proud, and the fans proud.
