He's a good defensive third baseman, and he's quick and he's got good range. Early on this spring, he wasn't moving his feet like he can, but you can see today what type of third baseman he can be.
He's been playing great. I think he's got to be a candidate. With the type of year he's having, you'd have to consider him.

Vlad has had some stretches occasionally where hits haven't fallen in. But he's the type of hitter that takes one swing to get him locked in seeing the ball again, and he can go crazy. That's a dangerous player, and they have done a good job with him so far.
We did a lot of good things. We played more the type of game we need ... and we brought our game on to the field today. That's what we have to do on a consistent basis.
