I was randomly clicking on MLB.com a few days ago and ran up on this video interview from spring training with Brent Lillibridge. It's conducted by Braves Love pal Jonathan Mayo, an MLB.com writer who spends most of his time covering the minor leagues. In Lilli's words:
I'm there, they know I can play everywhere, and I think that's going to help me get up there quicker.Well, he's still not here permanently, but his confidence will help him get further. He's been the talk of the minors for a few years now, so I'll be interested to keep an eye on him to see if he makes the break in the upcoming seasons.

I was pretty indifferent to Brent a few weeks ago (other than I thought he was cute), but I like his attitude and maturity in this interview. He looked pretty solid at SS when he was up, but I'm guessing unless he can hit .350+, he may be out of luck in the short term. The Braves have a surplus of youngsters...
gotta agree (mostly) with you Jessica- he seems to have a really good head on his shoulders and has a great attitude but...while his defense is very impressive he needs to work on his hitting a bit- and maybe a different position (not going to beat out Yunel at SS)- he IS cute though:), especially without his hat on...
