I would like to use this time to face my own challenges head-on and improve myself so that I can compete as a member of the first team next season."

I want to prepare well and take on the challenge with a hungry spirit so I can get on ground as often as possible. I'm also looking forward to talking with many players. I want to gain confidence here and take home as many positive aspects as possible so I can prepare for spring training and exhibition games."
