    How does it feel to be

    called up to the majors?

    A:It’s been amazing. I’m really excited.

    Is there a veteran in

    the clubhouse that has

    been helping you out, getting

    you use to playing in the big

    leagues?

    A: A lot of guys have been great, but Curtis

    Granderson had been so personable and open

    to me about anything and any questions that I

    had. I miss him now that he is in Toronto.

    Is there one person you feel

    most comfortable talking to

    about how you’re playing? A:

    Probably my dad, honestly. My dad is the

    guy I talk too pretty much every night and

    we go over the games and what happened.

    My dad expects a lot from me. Not results,

    but the effort I put in,

    the approach I take

    toward the game. I try

    to be really honest with

    him about how things

    are going. He tries to

    help with my swing. He

    wishes he could be there more often to help

    out with my swing. He’s seen it since I was two

    years old, since I started swinging a bat. He’s

    seen the progression of it. He knows all the

    keys that I go back to, the basics I go back to.

    I definitely go to him for advice on the swing

    and we try to solve those problems as they

    come up.

    You just took a picture with

    my son and gave him an

    autograph, do you mind giving

    fans autographs? A: It’s something

    that is just easy for me to do. If someone asks

    for an autograph, to just get it out, that little

    time can make a fan for life. And anyone that

    wants to support me, I’m not going to turn

    that down. It’s always nice to have support. It’s

    just something that I remember as a kid and

    you try to not become too high and mighty for 

    those kind of things.
