I would like to represent my country but I don't think I'll be 100 percent to play in early March. I'm committed to (the Cubs), and I think I owe them.

I feel good, but I don't think I'll be 100 percent to play.

If you play every day, you won't see any improvement, ... Any time you play, you put pressure on it. I guess you have to deal with it.

This is a good ballpark to hit in. The wind's not a factor here like it is at Wrigley Field.

They don't know about it, ... That's what happens in here, in the clubhouse. They don't need to know about it. Everybody plays through injuries, and I'm not the only one.

Hopefully, they keep doing it. And hopefully we can get it for the fans. They deserve it.
