I played against him so i didn't know him personally but I will tell you this he was very mature for his age on the baseball diamond. I just read that he's on the shelf, hey those are some growing pains you will encounter in the big leagues. I got 2 tickets for the Angels/Yankees game on September 8th but i'm going to have to sell them since the Raiders open up the season that Monday night. I love going to Angel stadium when the Yankees are in town, a lot of trash talking.
