TONIGHT. MORE SOTO IN THE CLUBHOUSE WITH THE MEDIA. >> I MEAN, I'M MORE THAN EXCITED, I'M READY. I JUST GO TO THE PLATE WITH MY PLAN. JUST TRY TO GET A GOOD PITCH AND TRY TO GUIDE THE BALL TO THE OUTFIELD, TRY TO GET THOSE GUYS IN, YOU KNOW. >> HOW ABOUT THE CATCH THERE? DID YOU THINK THAT WAS GOING OUT? ANOTHER BIG PLAY OF THE GAME. >> I DIDN'T THOUGHT IT WAS GOING OUT. DEFINITELY LOOK AT THE WALL, LOOK AT THE BALL AND JUST TIME IT WELL, TRY DO MY JOB. >> YOU TOOK A LONG LOOK IN THE DUGOUT, WHAT DID YOU THINK OF YOUR TEAM. MATES' REACTION? >> IT'S JUST GREAT. LIKE I SAID BEFORE, WE FEEL LIKE FAMILY RIGHT NOW. WE'RE REALLY STICK TOGETHER, AND THEY REALLY ENJOY MY SUCCESS AS MUCH AS THEM. >> WHAT'S IT LIKE TO GO OUT TO RIGHT FIELD AND THOSE FANS AND HOW YOU REACT WITH THEM AND HOW YOU PLAY WITH THEM? >> IT'S GREAT. THAT'S WHY YOU WANT TO -- THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT TO DO, YOU WANT TO GET THEM GOING AND TRY TO GET, I MEAN, GET THE HELP FROM HEM THEM, BECAUSE AT THE END OF THE DAY THEY'RE PART OF THE GAME TOO, THEY REALLY PUT IMPRESSION TO THE OTHER TEAM AND GETTING THEM GOING LIKE THAT IS A GREAT FEELING. >> WHAT DO YOU THINK OF GETTING MVP CHANTS IN MID-APRIL? >> I THINK IT'S WAY TOO EARLY, IT'S WAY TOO EARLY. BUT DEFINITELY IT FEELS GREAT, IT FEELS GREAT. YOU KNOW, THEY JUST REALLY SUPPORT ME EVERY DAY, DAY IN DAY OUT. AND JUST FEEL AMAZING. >> WHEN YOU WATCH THAT INNING UNFOLD AND CABRERA GETTING DOWN ON THE ERROR AND VOLPE GETTING A GRIND IT OUT UNTIL YOU GET UP THERE, YOU WATCH YOUR TEAMMATES TRY AND GET ON FOR YOU? >> YOU JUST COME THROUGH. THEY DID REALLY GOOD AT-BATS, CABRERA TOOK A REALLY GREAT AT-BAT. HE DESERVES TO GET A HIT RIGHT THERE. SO I THINK THOSE GUYS, HIM AND THEN TREVERY, THOSE GUYS WERE TAKING GREAT PITCHES, AND GETTING ON BASE FOR US. AND I THINK THAT'S WHAT TAKES US WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW. >> AARON BOONE SAID ONE OF THE THINGS THAT STANDS OUT WATCHING YOU SO FAR IS THAT YOU CARE ABOUT OTHER PARTS OF YOUR GAME AND NOT JUST HITTING S. THAT SOMETHING YOU CAME HERE ON A MISSION TO SHOW PEOPLE THAT YOU'RE MORE THAN A GOOD HITTER? >> AT THE END OF THE DAY I'M TRYING TO DO IT TO HELP MY TEAM. THAT'S THE BIGGEST THING. AND YEAH, DEFINITELY, WHY NOT? PEOPLE START TALKING THAT I CAN PLAY DEFENSE, YES. I THINK I CAN BE OUT THERE AND TRY TO HELP MY TEAM AS MUCH AS I HIT, IN THE DEFENSE TOO. SO MAINLY IT'S JUST TO TRY TO WIN MORE GAMES, YOU KNOW, TRY TO GET MORE CHANCE TOSS MY TEAM, MY PITCHERS, TO GET OUT OF THE INNINGS. >> DO YOU ALWAYS PUT THIS MUCH EFERLT INTO YOUR DEFENSE OR IS THAT SOMETHING YOU'VE TAKEN MORE INTEREST AND TIME IN? >> I DEFINITELY PUT A LOT OF WORK INTO IT BEFORE, BUT NEVER TOO MUCH IN THE OFF SEASON. DEFINITELY THIS OFF SEASON WAS BIG AND I REALLY TALKED WITH A COUPLE OF PLAYERS, FORMER PLAYERS AND COACHES TO SEE WHAT IS GOING TO HELP ME THE MOST AND THEN WHEN I GO HERE I TALK WITH LUIS, HE REALLY SHOW ME WHAT IS GOING TO HELP ME THE MOST TO IMPROVE MY DEFENSE AND I THINK WE'VE BEEN DOING REALLY GOOD. >> IS THERE SOMETHING THAT MADE YOU COUP THAT THIS YEAR? DID YOU HEAR SOMETHING OR SOMETHING THAT REALLY MADE YOU? >> I MEAN AT THE END OF THE DAY, JUST TRY TO WIN GAMES. YOU KNOW, I CAME FROM SAN DIEGO, I REALLY TRIED TO IMPROVE MY DEFENSE IN SAN DIEGO, IT WAS A HUGE BALL PARK. BUT DEFINITELY COMING HERE, AMERICAN LEAGUE, I DON'T KNOW THE GUYS THAT MUCH, THAT I CAN CHEAT A LITTLE BIT, YOU KNOW, I GOTTA BE READY FOR EVERYTHING. SO THAT'S WHAT GOT ME WHERE I'M AT RIGHT NOW. >> YOU SAID IT'S TOO EARLY FOR MVP TALK, BUT IT MUST BE A GOOD FEELING TO HEAR THAT FROM THESE NEW FANS THAT REALLY EMBRACE YOU HAD. >> YEAH, IT MEANS WE'RE GOING THE RIGHT WAY. >> 20 GAMES, HOW DOES THIS COMPARE TO YOUR EXPECTATIONS? >> I MEAN, IT'S JUST INCREDIBLE. I MEAN, I THINK MY EXPECTATIONS WERE RIGHT THERE TO BE IN FIRST PLACE BY THIS TIME, AND JUST TRY TO HOLD IT ALL THE WAY TO THE END. I THINK WE REALLY ARE DOING A REALLY GOOD JOB AS A TEAM TO WIN GAMES AND EVERYTHI
