He has been through a lot during his career -- MVP, massive power, shoulder injury, really down years,”

He has remade himself and adjusted. There is a lot to be said for that ability to persevere through a career to become maybe a little bit different profile player.His defensive versatility, I knew about. But to see it is impressive. To be able to play four positions the way he does at a high level. The quality of at-bats, the speed -- he does a lot of good things on a baseball field that helps you win. He is a winning player.”
