Feb. 19--Kris Bryant isn't suffering from big league-itis after winning the 2015 National League Rookie of the Year award.
"We're too young to be like that," Bryant said Friday after an early workout. "Last year was good for us to go through that adversity, bumps in the road, getting swept by the Mets. All that was good for us heading into this year. We have good heads on your shoulders, and the veterans will put us in check if any of us get out of line."
Bryant echoed manager Joe Maddon's words last spring that there will be no entitlement program for the youngsters.
"We're holding each other accountable, and a lot of that goes back to how we ended last year," Bryant said. "We didn't end the season the way we wanted it to end. This year we'll do all we can to go even further. We're going to be on some people when they need to be getting on. And we're working very hard."
Kyle Schwarber drew some early attention Wednesday when he hit a deep home run that broke a car windshield.
"What do you do?" Schwarber asked. "What do you say. It happens to be a home run and I hit a car. Sorry.
"Safelite (Glass Company) is taking care of it."
Schwarber, however, didn't want to be drawn into assessing his prolific home runs during his short time in the majors.
"You really can't pay attention to that kind of stuff, because it can turn into negative things and then it can turn around into a negative teammate," Schwarber said.
