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.

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

A good changeup is what I need to get to the next level.

I prided myself on working as hard as I could, trying to overcome a learning diability.

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