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.

Now I know that I don't have to go after every batter with the hardest pitch I've got.

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

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

I like to hunt. After baseball, I'll go back and buy some land and do some farming.

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

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