He did a nice job coming up last year. He's developed a lot of confidence, pitching out of the pen, getting warmed up and so on. He's done everything you want to see as far as getting his arm loose.

He's throwing very well right now.

I like this job. I'd like to be back. I'll be putting on the uniform somewhere. It might with the minor leaguers. I live in Sarasota, so that works out for me.

I want to express my sincere thanks to the Reds organization and medical team for all their support during this time. My doctors feel that they've caught this at an early stage and it is very treatable. I am prepared to follow their direction and do whatever it takes to overcome this disease. In the meantime, I am keeping a very positive attitude.

I'll be putting the uniform on somewhere next year. Living in Sarasota, it's a great situation for me to be able to go over [to Instructional League] and work with the Minor Leaguers. Hopefully it'll work out for both sides.

I'm doing well. The prognosis is good and I'm dealing with the process. Everything seems very workable and very treatable. I'm very pleased with the things I've been able to do so far.

I'm going to focus totally on remission, as well as being a coach. But the remission part is going to be the priority.

It's early. He's still trying to get in shape. But he's trying to get his legs into it more. That's the No. 1 thing. He's feeling better about his legs.

My doctors feel that they've caught it at an early stage and it is very treatable.

My doctors feel that they've caught it at an early stage and it is very treatable. I plan to maintain a presence in spring training, but there will be times when I am away from the team for a few days as I receive treatment.

Plus when you get guys out here, they get a couple of weeks of working out to get that initial soreness out of the way. But the fact that these guys are willing to come out early and make a personal commitment means a lot to me.
|
That probably will pay dividends for him. I think anytime you work at something, you have a chance to get better. He's done that.
|
There's been a couple times there have been some runs against us, but it hasn't been a three- or a four-spot. It's been one or two runs, which is more manageable.
|
There's more or less an understanding that there are medical advances and you deal with what the new information is. I'm fortunate that the timing of it was during Spring Training and they got the physicals and I got an early diagnosis. It allows me to go ahead and start treatment basically before symptoms [appear]. Everything is a positive mindset. It's something we can treat and put it in remission.

Those numbers give you a sense of confidence. Guys are pitching with more confidence. They seem not to rush as much. They're recognizing game situations a little better.
