We've got a bunch of young, solid pitchers out there that can all pitch at the major league level. So I think it's a great sign for the organization and for the Tigers in the future. As far as being in the middle of it, it's fun.

For me, seeing the progression of video games and consoles - whether it be PlayStation, Xbox, or whatever - I think just seeing how good they've gotten from the days when I first started playing is just amazing.

That's the way I pitched all last year, using the off-speed to set it up a little bit more. I felt like sometimes I get into a habit of throwing too many fastballs and just relying on that, whereas I'm sure I could throw a lot more off-speed stuff for strikes.

The Detroit fans treated me great. I was glad to see they knew my name.

All I can remember is sitting on the bench in a cold rain. All year long. Every day, it was raining. It just didn't work out.

I was glad to get that double play. Whether I settled down or not, that's a different question.
