The Questions

What was your welcome-to-the-big-leagues moment?

The last exhibition game [this year]. We played the Rangers in Arlington. I walked from the clubhouse through the dugout and to the field. I looked up at everything, and I was like, Wow.

Your most embarrassing moment?

When I threw one through [first baseman Mike] Jacobs's legs and two runs scored. The runner was going to be safe even if I made a good throw. [The coaches] said, "Know when there's a play, and when there's not."

Favorite off-day activity?

Hanging out with my [infant], Jackson. It's awesome. He mainly sleeps and eats.

One thing about being a ballplayer the public doesn't know about?

I watch a lot of TV. A lot of TV. I watch MTV, VH1, the E! Channel. All those cheesy shows.

If I weren't playing ball, I'd be ...

bartending at a restaurant or club.
