I've been working out every day and I feel very strong. I'm ready to go.

It's a new year. It was time to do something different.

The Pirates don't want me to go, so I'm not going. That's OK. This is more important, being here and getting ready for the season.

I feel really good right now. I really worked to get ready for this season.

People know they can find any kind of worker here.

I felt good. I'm happy because I got a hit and was able to [score] on the hit. My knees and leg felt very good.
