I think I'm aware of what goes on in my mind more than some guys, and for that reason I fight more battles.

I refuse to be molded into some stereotypical ballplayer that has no interests, really, no life, no depth, no intelligence.

I do look forward to keeping in touch with the guys because we'll always be connected in people's minds.

I view my pitching on how confident I was out there, period. And if I lose that confidence, I can become a prisoner of my own mind.

I was this 5-7 pudgy kid in high school... I wasn't a popular kid. I was an outcast.

I just write mechanical things.

Big league defense is going to get outs most times.
