00:00For a guy who's pretty usually soft-spoken and fairly reserved in his comments to the media,
00:04he talked to all the reporters that were here yesterday at the shop,
00:08and he was pretty passionate, pretty human,
00:10kind of felt like his character was coming under attack
00:13just because of the story that he had refused to play second base.
00:16That would have been a bad look,
00:17and I think he knows how that would have looked in the clubhouse.
00:20He said he hopes that his teammates know that his character
00:23and have been here for three-plus years now.
00:24He says that while he was coming back from his shoulder surgery in the offseason,
00:28he kept on checking in with the team.
00:30Like, what do you want from me?
00:30For a while, all he could do is take ground balls,
00:32and he kept on asking, like, where do you want me to take them?
00:34Like, what do you want?
00:35And the message was consistently shortstop.
