However, he participated in 121 games and recorded AVG .279, HR 9 and RBI 58 in 2008. In the next year he was in bad condition all the year around. One year later he became established as a regular player after All Star Game 2010. He recorded HR 14 in spite of participating in 93 games, but his defense of left fielder was not so good.
