“I'm very confident. You take out a couple of appearances last year and my numbers are as good as anyone's in the league. I've been through this before. This is something I want.”
“I'm ready to go. Last year I had a couple of bumps and bruises along the way but those winter months were good to me. No matter who you are, if you play in that many games, you're going to have some things that aren't physically right with you and I'm not bionic.”
“Second and third with nobody out and a three-run lead, you want to trade some outs for some runs there. I was able to get three ground balls and get out of it and secure the win. It doesn't look pretty in the box score, but I think I did my job.”
