It just seemed like the opportunity was going to be here. The Pirates left me with the impression that this was going to be the right place for me.

You can't let yourself get caught up in things you can't control. The main thing you have to worry about it doing the things you have to do to help your team win. I really believe if you do that then everything else takes care of itself.

I was pretty happy with it.

But I feel like I've had a good spring and I'm glad for that.

I felt pretty good out there. Early on, I was a little quick with my delivery but then I got comfortable, settled in.

There's a lot of people I know and like from here. You always feel closest to the team you come up with.
