I didn't want to get better any more just because I was out of the rotation. I wanted to get better regardless of where I was.

I didn't have my velocity and I didn't have my command, and when you don't have those two things, you're in trouble. Last year was a year I would like to forget, personally. I was terrible.

It's been an unbelievable Spring Training. After last year, to get a fresh start with a new team is the best thing that could have happened to me. These guys went through a rough time last year -- so did I -- so maybe we can all have a better year this time.

I'm not a hitter, and I have no business getting hits. I'm just fooling some guys.

It's nice to have that (changeup) when you're behind in the count and not limited to fastball-breaking ball that the hitters recognize out of hand early,

It got to a point where I was rushing through everything. I had to try and slow everything down. I never did.
