Every time I stopped throwing and I started again, it would hurt, ... But this time it was worse. |
I don't say yes, I don't say no. They haven't 100 percent decided where I'm going to play. He didn't mention second base, not to me. He said outfield for this year. For the first time, it shocked me a little bit. I've never played outfield before. He said, 'We need you in the lineup.' That part is good. I'll just wait and see what happens. |
I was shocked, ... It's bad news. It's bad, but I've got to do it. Fix it and feel better. |
I'm human, you know? It's a bad day. |
I've had soreness and stiffness before, but this time it hurts. They said there's swelling everywhere. I can't straighten my arm. It was bad Friday and got worse every day. |
It feels good. It will be a couple of weeks before I can turn a double play and take balls at shortstop. |
It's baseball. Every team has its time. |
It's part of the game. I'm human, you know? I don't think it's pressure [with Reyes running], but you have to hurry a little bit. |
It's their decision, not mine. If I have to switch, I'll have to. If they want me at second, I'll go to second. If they want me to catch, I'll catch. |
Nasty. It looks just like a fastball, then it's in on you. He looked outstanding. He looked scary, even after surgery. You can see how he feels by the way he acts. When you feel bad, you don't even feel like talking to anybody. He acts like he's good now. |
Our defense is a huge advantage for us, and it will be especially in the postseason, too, ... Tight games, great teams. Defense matters, especially in the postseason. |

That's more than I threw before I got hurt. I think my arm will be better than it was before. |
The pain is still there. It goes from the lower back into my right leg. It started in my back because of my hamstring and it's still weak. I can't swing a bat and I can't even bend over for a ground ball. |
Weird, isn't it? I can swing a bat and not feel anything with my elbow. Right-handed, left-handed, doesn't matter. It feels perfect when I swing. |
