mini camp".

Here's just a part--Mark talking about himself. I love the confidence!

"Defensively, I feel like there's not a whole lot that are better out
there, that have an arm like I do and can play second base like I do,"
he said.

"And then you wrap that in with [offense]. I consider myself a
consistent player, all-around. I'm gap to gap, I'll get you maybe
eight to 12 home runs a year, and I usually hit for a decent average.
I try to concentrate on my on-base percentage. Put that all together
and it's a pretty solid player."
