The doctors checked on my knee, and they said it's good. I feel pretty good right now. I'm ready to play.

I feel really good right now. I really worked to get ready for this season.

Right now, the overall condition is quite critical. Lot of things are being taken care of by the doctors. In totality, the picture has deteriorated since Monday.

Right now I'm feeling great. I'm not the expert here. The doctors and the trainers are, so I just have to trust their opinions.

It's a new year. It was time to do something different.

The Pirates don't want me to go, so I'm not going. That's OK. This is more important, being here and getting ready for the season.
