A lot comes down to the financial side of things. I definitely want to come back and play in the States someday, but if you do well here, the money can be hard to turn down.

I feel if I make the cut I will play well on Saturday and Sunday,

The amount of minutes I played today made me feel that I can play longer than I've been able to. It's given me more confidence that I can run up and down the court and contribute.

It's tough to get a read on them, because I'll get ahead 0 and 2, and throw a fastball up and in and they'll swing anyway. They throw their bat at everything you throw, no matter where it is.

You don't ever see any trash on the ground, and everyone picks up after themselves. In a way, it reminded me of San Francisco: the climate is similar, it's very pretty, and it's by the water.

The guaranteed aspect was the eye-catching part. They really made me feel wanted.
