I wish nobody to go through what I've been though. This has not been a good season. . . . I need to put baseball aside and regroup my life.

I feel good. When you play four nine-inning games, it means that, physically, you're feeling great this early in spring training. I'm feeling great. This spring, my body feels strong, feels great. I was real happy about that.
