I need to have perspective. That's one of the big things former players told me, to not try to live up to anything, just live up to yourself.

The outfield is solid, so is the catching and the infield.

I think in the bullpen you can tell during your warmups, if you have a good feel for it. But anything can happen once you get into a game. Sometimes you just wind up throwing it better than ever before one day without knowing why.

I'm so secure in myself I couldn't care less what people think of me.

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.

Everyone focuses on the earthly state, but how cool might death be? I believe in spiritual rebirth, and I can't wait to experience that.
