Fourth-inning homer contributes to Grapefruit-opening victory.

Good way to start the season.

They showed it on ESPN. He got a mixed clap applause/ booing in his first atbat, and was walked. In his second he got a few more claps than boos and all was forgotten after he hit the home run. The best way for him to silence his critics is to go out and play inspired baseball and be the man this year. Hit lots of homeruns, have no errors, go for batting .400 and draw lots of walks. Oh and be a clubhouse guy.

He'll be ridiculed everywhere he goes. But people will soon realize he is still a damn good player.

Agree. But he will have to become a better clutch/postseason player.
