My brother, Ron, had a little time with him at Oakland last year and was very impressed with him. He was very helpful to his teammates, as Ray King and Steve Kline were to me as I came up.
If I did anything to be given a shot this year, then my goal is not to lose it. I`ve seen that shuttle too many years from the big leagues to the minor leagues, a hot year followed by a not-so-hot year.
I know that with the man on deck in Howard, even though he`s lefty, he`s the tying run if I`m too careful with Burrell. So I wanted to be aggressive without making a mistake, as obvious as that sounds.

The only thing I might be behind on would be my breaking ball.
