There's really no reason to put any added pressure on myself, ... I just try to have fun and play baseball. Hopefully my numbers can prove that.

Chip did the job right there. He stepped up and hit it far enough. It was far enough to get the job done.

Jimmy was always a stud when I was coming up through the minors. He had a tough time this year, but as he pitched more and more, he got better. He's going to be a big part of the team next year.

It started on my back, went to my legs, then to my arms and my hands.

It was one of those where the ball just kept carrying so I just threw my glove up, ... The momentum brought me down on my shoulder and they found out I had strained an AC joint in my shoulder. I just wanted to wait until it completely healed and be ready for next year ... We learned a lot from this past season and hopefully it will pay off.

It's feeling better but I haven't been throwing yet. With a slightly torn ligament, you can't rush that. We've got to make sure it's 100 percent before getting back out there.

We had a little optimism heading into this past season, but it was rough, ... Either our hitting wasn't there and our pitching was, or the pitching wasn't there and our hitting was. We just couldn't get it clicking. The season was going all right for me personally before I got hurt. I felt like I was doing a job of getting on. It helped having that experience from the year before.

I got in there way before he tagged me.

That was off the tee, light swings, pretty decent. But today is my second day, I'll do it tomorrow and we'll go from there.
