Well I'm excited and exert great opportunity. And reunite with but rather than in Houston I -- My time with him in Boston and looking forward to a great opportunity in Houston I had the opportunity to play short. A -- merit and Boston but. And -- we -- we probably young -- in Houston and the opportunity. To continue better and for me it's. It's just it's about client and that's what I've always. -- What I wanted to. Man down hopefully get that opportunity in Houston but an opportunity for our from the -- learn what it is on the biggest stage in baseball. You know and I wanna bring that experience. To Houston. And that winning culture and not winning attitude accused in the -- Even if even if even if that team's. Quote unquote in rebuilding period it's about winning and do everything I can help. Help Astros -- I'll just take experience and my knowledge of knowing what -- to play on the biggest stage. And I'm hopefully going out over the Houston and tried do do what I can't help bill back. A winning tradition.
Would -- I think -- everything kind of happened pretty quick and and then Jeff. Really wasn't able to get to me until that the trade was pretty much into it and that's fine he doesn't have to do that. With me and and I studies he did a great job of getting getting these two guys now -- in and Boston. My first recollection of jet was. It when he was at Stanford. And I had the opportunity of watching him. Play. A couple of games and in Stanford college or had an idea of what this guy was and then we. We drafted him and then he came to the big Linden and I got this in some time more than men and just see the type of player that is is. He'd be able play all the infield positions. And and being accomplished hitter those all important and I think that he's gonna bring some more ball club. Or opened that if he's able just it just being himself. And and that's that's going to be fine.
And I know those that Kyle wasn't. The big leagues at the time you -- there ever been you have familiarity with him from spring training are. Or it might I think.
I really don't just. Just some times that I've I've talked to people about him. But just in enough about it and and all reports have been real good and anytime that we were able to have an arm like that. Into the organization it's it's sure nice.
I think it's a great opportunity for me. Are they did a great job. And in position -- it via trade out -- on it great and you know you're. Surprise them -- they trade that perpetrated obviously so it came as a surprise to. Never happen. I I would agree with that because you know you don't know plate that it's looking at you know -- that. You you obviously that's one -- so. It's in great opportunity and all the had a chance to earn a a roster spot. But in no. One in my career not thinking and yeah so I got on iron and -- so I think I'm looking forward.
