“If I can do that during the season without giving up the home runs and stuff, I'm happy. I look for one- or two-pitch outs. I don't like to strike people out.”
“I'm pretty happy with the way I threw. In Baltimore, I pushed the envelope a little more because I was a veteran. Over here, I'm fighting for a spot.”
“I'm happy about the way I threw the ball today. My goal is to get as many ground balls as I can. I don't like to strike people out. I pitch to contact.”
“He told me from the get-go to win a job as a starter I was going to have to come in and work hard. The only thing I can do when they give me the chance is to throw strikes and get people out. In the end they'll choose who's best suited for that spot and we'll see what happens.”
“I know what the situation is anytime I mess up. Hopefully it will never happen. But if I do something bad they have the option of sending me to the bullpen or releasing me. I know what the situation is. It's not set in stone yet. But they gave me a second chance to work hard and show these guys I'm capable of pitching in the big leagues.”
“I'm gonna try to lose a little bit, because I'm gonna be running the bases more here, need a little more flexibility and quickness. I have to learn how to do it anyway. I never did it in my life. It's a part of the game and I have to know it.”
