I can jog fine, ... but I'm not going to hit a home run all the time.

Any time you have an injury with your legs -- you use your legs for everything, to field, throw, to hit, ... It affects everything you do on the field.

If you play every day, you won't see any improvement, ... Any time you play, you put pressure on it. I guess you have to deal with it.

This is a good ballpark to hit in. The wind's not a factor here like it is at Wrigley Field.

They don't know about it, ... That's what happens in here, in the clubhouse. They don't need to know about it. Everybody plays through injuries, and I'm not the only one.

I would like to represent my country but I don't think I'll be 100 percent to play in early March. I'm committed to (the Cubs), and I think I owe them.
