Zitat des Tages von Andrew Benintendi:
I don't think it's a secret that I'm not a fan of all the attention and the media, stuff like that, but I understand it's part of it, and I have to do it.
I come from a pretty humble family, and I try to be a humble guy.
That's the beautiful thing about baseball. You can be any size and be successful.
Obviously, there's not as much flex in a wood bat as in a metal bat, so I'm still trying to adjust to that.
Being stronger really helped my game.
Growing up, I was a big Red Sox fan and looked up to guys like Dustin Pedroia, who's obviously not the biggest guy, but the way he competes, the way he works, it was motivating for me.
I think the biggest adjustment I've made before coming here was going from High A to Double A. I was going in facing pitchers who had more experience and knew how to throw all their stuff for strikes and in hitter's counts, things like that.
It's definitely a dream come true playing for the Red Sox.
Baseball is a hard game. There's going to be ups and downs.
I always knew I could make it in baseball.
The more games I play, the more I feel comfortable.
