I've done enough wrong on my own, I don't want to get blamed for something I didn't do.

I love the fans and I appreciate how much they care for me.

When I went back to Shea last year it really hit me how much the fans care for me, it still gives me goose bumps. I want to do the right thing for them and my family.

One of the nicest satisfactions you can have is to be able to give something back to your parents when they've given so much to you.

You got the ball in your hands and you're in command, and if you get your good pitch where you want it, nobody's gonna hit you.

I don't feel any pressure. I just try to stay calm, follow my game plan, and try not to get overthrown.

I figured that pitchers had a better chance of getting drafted than fielders, so I decided I should be a pitcher. But I never expected to be picked in the first round. I wasn't even sure I'd get picked at all.
