A lot of people thought we were going to the World Series last year. They just didn't realize how young our lineup was. And when we got a few guys hurt, it really hurt us.
It was good to win the series and take two of three against one of the hotter teams. We had some big hits. Redmond was huge and Shannon had a big hit for us. We need to keep winning series.
We're struggling a bit right now, trying to find our way and trying to get healthy at the same time early in the year. We've got a lot of baseball left, so hopefully we'll right the ship in the next few series and play a little better baseball, pitching and defense.
They can pitch, catch the ball and swing the bat. It's a very good baseball team. They put a lot of money into it this winter and it will be a fun opening series for us against a good baseball team.
I don't know, not until he comes out and takes BP. Whether he gets into this series or not will depend on him. He's pretty sore, that's all I know.
It was a very nice series for us, after coming off a tough road trip. We came back home and did what you have to do to get righted. Guys are now getting into a bit of a groove and playing good ball.
