It's more about a number than anything else. I feel great and because of that, I'm less concerned about (my age).

They've got my number, if they were so concerned with where I was at, why didn't they call me? I know what Bob Hill is saying, but I'm saying they've got my number and could have reached me if they wanted to.

It's unfortunate. But it's also a very newsworthy item out there.

I'll say this and I don't want to talk about it anymore. It's interesting to me that for somebody who's been so tight-lipped about everything that goes on in that organization, that I'm the only player that he's ever talked about when it comes to a negotiation.

I wish he hit it a little harder. Victor would've caught it.

I wasn't happy about it. But to say something like that would eliminate me from ever considering (the Braves), no. It's not about me and him. It's about me and my family. That's the more important issue.
