LEGGETT COMMENTS: "Zane is one of those guys that you hope continues to get over the hump in right field. He can be a very exciting offensive player. He's one of our steadiest and most aggressive outfielders. He means a lot to this team. If we can get him to play as aggressively as I'd like to see him, then he has a chance to be an outstanding player this year."
