Yeah, that was in the back of my mind a little bit.

You know what he's done. That's the biggest thing.

I continue to go out there and work, and I want to become one of the better defensive first basemen in the league.

I can definitely see why he's such a coveted player.

I can control going out and playing hard everyday and trying to improve myself, and Carlos is the same way. I can't control what Carlos does. If we're in a ballgame and he's there, I want to try to help him anyway possible and try to help the team win and I know it's the same way with him.

I don't expect to hit home runs. I expect to hit the ball hard. They're just going out of the park right now. Whether they will a week from now, two weeks from now, who knows?

Trust me, I've been paying attention to all of the people that I've been compared to. I don't deserve to even be mentioned with players like that.

It's strange for me, power-wise. It's not something I'm accustomed to. I'm not going up trying to hit home runs. I'm just trying to get good pitches to hit and they're going out of the park. It's surprising.

It's pretty amazing to me to even be mentioned with players like that.
