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

My first game [as a Blue Jays rookie], I went 0 for 4 with an error. My first ground ball went right between my legs.

What was your most embarrassing moment?

When I was a rookie, my teammates gave me a yellow M&M suit and I had to wear it through the airport and on the plane.

Your favorite off-day activity?

I'll wash a few clothes, get that out of the way. I like a movie. I'll watch a scary movie, then come back, watch Lifetime [TV network] and chill.

If I weren't in the big leagues, I'd ...

[run] an autistic school. I've always loved autistic kids. Even in elementary school, I had a special place in my heart for them. I have a few distant relatives [who are autistic].

If I were commissioner for a day, I'd ...

have pitchers throw fastballs down the middle. No curves. No split-fingers. Just fastballs.

LAST WEEK

THIS WEEK
The D-Backs play in Milwaukee this weekend, then host Colorado in their home opener next Tuesday.
