I'm into flames these days. I'm a little guy who needs to do big things.

Several days of nice, moderate rain is what we need to put out the flames.

I've pitched well enough that if unfortunately I don't make the team here, I'll have a chance somewhere else. My performance has been the best I've had in any spring.

I've got plenty of gas left. I know that for a fact.

I've always been humbled by this game. I've had success, yeah. But I've always known some day it would end. Last year could have been the end, but I have an opportunity to do it again. I'm going to make the most of it, and I'm very confident in my ability.

Before I came here, I expected to teach some basic stuff from Step 1, but some of these guys can actually hit it. They have the athletic capability, I think they can pick up the sport very easily, and I also think the interest is going to be there. I think it will continue to spread in the country.
