No problems at all to report. It hasn't been sore in a long time.

When I'm in the game I don't even notice it. Of course, there is the usual ache that has come from the injury, but nothing different from how it has felt all along.

It's good to know there's a spot still open after all that happened last year. I'm excited.

I would love to start up there -- that's what I want. If I don't get it, I just need to keep working to get up there. But it feels good to know that there is a shot right now. I know I missed a whole year, but to have the chance to compete for a spot on the roster is all I can ask for.

I'm getting a lot more confidence. I'm feeling better every day. It's time to show something.

I haven't had the opportunity to slide, but that's not going to be a problem. I can pretty much do what everyone else is doing.

I don't want to see myself anywhere but being back up there, so we'll see what happens.

Not exactly the time I wanted to test it, but I guess that's a good sign for Spring Training. It looks like I'm all ready to go now.

I'm ready to go. I don't feel myself doing anything different. It may look like that, but my knee feels fine. I don't even think about it.
