arms believe camp good guys help
I believe I can. That's not my decision. There's a lot of good arms here in camp and a lot of guys who can help the squad. I'm just going to go out and show them what I've got and take it from there.
ball everyday firing friday gotten looks normal picking ready start
It's doing a lot better than it was. I'm back to normal everyday stuff. I haven't gotten to where I think I'm comfortable enough to start picking up a ball and start chucking it yet, but I still have the whole offseason to get that ready and come firing in the spring. I'll know a lot more on Friday when Dr. Yocum looks at it.
deserved felt sure team
I felt that the team deserved that effort. And just for me, personally, I wouldn't have been able to live with myself if I didn't try, if I didn't come and know for sure that it wasn't going to work.
love respect uniform watching
I've got a lot of respect for those guys. That's a lot of writing and lot of watching games. It's baseball, and I love watching it, but I love being in uniform more.
