“This whole spring has been tough because Aaron and I have become good friends. I know his preference is to start. I know I'm getting an opportunity and I'm happy about that, but I know it means he's giving up something he wants to do. I know this is about what Aaron can do in the bullpen.”
“This is going to be a special team. It's a lot of responsibility, but I'm looking forward to it. That's why I've prepared the way I have the last three years in the minor leagues, to get to this point, so I can contribute and they feel like I'm ready.”
