Spring training is totally different from the regular season. Spring training, you're there to get into shape and to get ready. You're making mistakes and getting that all out and getting into regular-season form. I think we've played real good defense [the last two weeks]. |
The first part of the spring, I didn't think my arm was in shape yet. My arm is fine and it hasn't been hurting at all. Tonight, I felt great. I feel good on the field. I'm not worried about it at all. I'm ready to go out there and make plays for the pitchers. |

Those kind of comments, you take them in and let them go right out, ... It's certainly an honor to be compared to great players, but I can't be thinking about that when I'm on the field. I just want to relax and play. |
You take it in, and it goes right out, ... If you put a lot of pressure on yourself, you're not going to be able to perform as well as you like. It's an honor to have your name in the same sentences as those guys, but you got to put it behind you and remember what got you here. |
