It was a good experience, ... It gave me a little taste of what this league is like. It helped me kind of know what I was coming into this year.

I've kind of been more erratic than I'd like to be, but I'm all right. The more times I get out there, the better I feel. I feel like I can make some adjustments and make some better pitches.

If we have a child interested in collecting leaves or rocks or taking pictures of plants or flowers, we'd certainly like to take the time to escort them and even do a few cool experiments. We've got a great soccer field where you can see every star in the sky, if a child is interested in the planets. And I'd love to learn from the kids, if they knew something I didn't know.

Sure, I'd like to push for a bigger role. But the first thing I have to do is make the team. Everything else follows that.

I've been taken care of well, especially in the bullpen.

It's amazing waking up every day and seeing the mountains all around me instead of corn and stuff,
