It's unbelievable. I've been with the Major League club in spring training, so I'm used to that. But this is just an amazing feeling.

I feel it's been a very productive spring training for me. Things kick in when you're facing major-league hitters and you're pitching in front of 40,000 to 50,000 people.

The Florida State League was considered the top A-league back then. You played in the spring training parks of major league teams, traveled throughout some great cities in Florida, and the pay was the best in A-ball.

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've got to throw that ball higher and out of bounds. It was just a major-league mistake on my part. I just didn't get it up high enough. It's unfortunate. I've got to make a better play.

I'm in the major league now.
