He's unbelievably talented. I saw him for five years in the American League. He's got as good a stuff as anybody.

Izzy told me the first time you're traded or released and go somewhere else is the hardest. After that, it's no problem. I can now understand why people say that. It wasn't hard making an adjustment. It was just different.

I don't see that the strike zone as different. I don't see that there's any stigma of American or National League as a player. The only real difference I see is that, in the American League, seven guys in the lineup will swing for homers. In the National, it's only about four. The rest of them will hit the other way or do whatever.

I don't care what start you pick last year, it felt better today.

I'd rather see the guy out there now. He always did an unbelievable job as a closer, but you never exactly knew how he was going to get there. He'd get it done, but he did it differently. Now Izzy takes the approach that it's fine to throw three pitches and get three outs. That helps him be more durable.

I can get full extension in my arms and move it from side to side. It only hurts when I tilt it back and look up. I'll have to see how it feel tomorrow.

A lot of people thought I didn't like St. Louis. I loved it. Don't get me wrong. I loved Oakland. But the year I had in St. Louis - with the fans, the city and the baseball atmosphere - was so much fun. What could be better than that? It's a great team moving into a new stadium. I can't say enough about the situation.

I'm looking for someone who is going to be open to the public. It's got to be black and white with us. That seems to be something that a lot of politicians just don't understand. Mayor Munson, quite honestly, could have been more open.

We were talking about him the other day. He could be starting for 25 major league teams. It's tough. But you don't want to be frustrated by it. You go out and do your thing and whatever happens, happens.
