He changed speeds, had a pretty good breaking ball and he wasn't afraid to pitch inside either. I thought he was very good.

I don't necessarily think it holds us back. But it's not one of the nicer [facilities] around now. There's not a lot to do in the area, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. But every [Grapefruit League] game we play, it's a ways to get there. We're kind of off the beaten path. I think the closest games we play are in Kissimmee, and it's 40 minutes away.

It was the same way for both sides.

It was a disappointing year for me personally because I didn't perform at any time during the season the way I'm accustomed to performing. But on the positive side, when you consider where I came from, I still rallied out of it to be a contributing member on a good team. This year, being fully healthy, I expect to make more of an impact.

Opening day, you can't wait for it to get here and then you can't wait to get it over with so you can get into your normal routine. It's an exciting day in America. No matter what level you're playing baseball, even back in Little League, there's an exciting feeling about opening day from the moment you wake up.
