I was the ultimate bachelor. I was a young guy, so I did what I wanted to do. Now my day revolves around him.

They might not think that this guy is very intelligent.

He's a young guy. It's like Billy Martin said -- if you tell him 10 times, tell him 11. Hopefully, that's the one that catches. He's gotten better and better at a lot of things. Obviously, there's room for improvement in concentration and not getting distracted by things. That's something we'll keep striving for. A lot of pitchers face that. Hopefully, we'll get through that.

Before he met me, he didn't have any tattoos.

This defense could be one of the best you've seen. For a long time.

I want to get better, that's first and foremost. Mr. Rooney and the organization paid me so I gotta perform now. Last year there wasn't as much pressure on me because they didn't know what to expect. Now I want to make sure that they know they made the right choice.
