It's a good day if you're on the field and not in the rehab room. The Indians treated me like gold. I'm in a big-league camp trying for a job because of the way they helped me.

The gratifying part was coming back last year because there was so much doubt.

We didn't pitch very well. We weren't consistently throwing strikes, and things piled up.

I haven't met him yet.

It can't be frustrating, because it would affect how I pitch. When something happens, you wipe it clean, and you let the guy know that it's all right. We are going to live again. We are going to have another shot.

I slept the whole day and didn't budge.
