Rupp On Singletary: "Elliot is our most refined infielder, as far as fielding ability. He's got very quick feet, and he knows how to play the infield. He got sick with pneumonia, and lost about 20 pounds last year. But he's at full health now, and he's switch-hitting, which will give our lineup a different look. He could also see time at any position in the infield at any time. We're looking for Elliot to have a big year this year, both offensively and defensively."
