From 1999-2002 in the minors, he mostly hit over .300 while moving from Single A up to Triple A. He came back to the minors in 2005 for 32 games, hitting .290 in the PCL. In 2006, he played 37 games in the International League, hitting .214. His lifetime minor league batting average is .313.

He won an Olympic gold medal for the United States in the 2000 Sydney Olympics.
