What would you do if you were manager, and you brought a man into the office and you challenged him across the board, and he answered? You're getting my answer by looking at the lineup.
As far as production goes, it's at the bottom of his baseball card. But as far as leadership and the way he's rallied the team, it's at the top. This year has challenged him in a lot of different areas, made him stretch and grow in a lot of places and I think he has handled it well.
You talk about being challenged and answering the challenge. He has hit the ball (recently) as well as I have ever seen him hit the ball.
