I can't try to throw 110 miles per hour. I've got to pitch under control.

You can either take it as a way to motivate yourself or be happy with what you've got.

Everybody's dream is to be in the big leagues, but only one in a million gets here.

To my parents and all the people who reassured me that leaving high school and going into the draft was the right thing to do, I am forever thankful.

Taking the GED and moving on to my dream of playing baseball was what I wanted to do, and my mom and dad supported me.

I don't ever want to be an average fourth starter. I want to be the big guy.

I'm not a big city guy...there's too many people, there's too much traffic.
