In 2006, he joined a rookie cast that included Hanley Ramírez, Dan Uggla, Jeremy Hermida, Josh Johnson, Josh Willingham, Eric Reed, Mike Jacobs, and Scott Olsen, a group that overperformed considering the meager expectations, which were placed on them due to the frugal nature of Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria.
However, due to the injury of Scott Olsen, he was called up to start on May 18 against the Pirates.
He spent his middle school years in Stevensville, Michigan, and attended Lakeshore Middle School then attended Crystal Lake South High School in Crystal Lake, Illinois, for high school where he was all-conference in baseball.
