I think it will take a little bit. But that's what spring training is for.

I thought I had him (Monroe) set up for a ground ball, but I made a bad pitch.

The jobs are open, which is something you usually don't see this late into the spring. Today was good for four batters, but then in the second inning, I started falling behind hitters, and the Angels can hurt you when they know you have to come over the plate.

From what I understand, he's worked really hard to learn the language.

Being in the majors for the first time was bigger than I expected. I think I took it in too much. I never threw my slider the way I wanted to. I was too timid with it. I didn't throw it with 100 percent conviction. I tried to make it too good. They told me there would be bumps in the road, but I didn't expect them to be mountains.

2006 will be an extremely exciting year as we look to double and triple our customers.
