It was pretty obvious at the start of spring that I was the odd man out. That makes it pretty hard to get comfortable.

He is that good. He's a pretty tough young man and he's optimistic. He had one of his front teeth knocked out in practice the day before (last Friday), so we had to go find a dentist and get it fixed.

It was pretty high, man. It was way up in the sky. My cousin from Midland called me and told me he saw it.

I had the adrenaline rushing for about four or five hours (before the game).

Still way too early, and there's a long way to go. We're only like 10 or 11 games into this thing, and I have only played in a half of those, so a long way to go.

I'm just excited to be here, and this is not a bad situation for me. Frankly, it looked like the White Sox did not have a spot for me, and I can't really blame them for what they did.
