If I don't make the team out of spring training, I'll keep a good attitude. I'll just go polish up the parts of my game that made me not stay in the big leagues.

I got to the big leagues when I was 20. I thought I had it all figured out. Went to spring training that next year and started off well, got sent down, and I pouted pretty much all of 2000. And it wasn't the right way to handle it.

It all comes down to when spring training comes. Do you want to go or don't you? If you want to go, you go.

That was a very aha moment. It was, 'I'm in the big leagues.'

Spring Training is a fun time for me.

I've always approached spring training as I have something to prove.
