We had the ballgames. They were our ballgames to win, and we didn't finish them off.

That's a lot of years to live in this game. To be in the game this long, you have to be very fortunate. A lot of people has been involved in this game and very few have spent that much time in the game. I feel very lucky, and I appreciate the opportunities that I've had and still have. I don't take anything for granted.

Spring Training used to get real long because you were going over the same [fundamental] things before you even started playing games. You were very happy when the season started. But things are better -- the playing fields, the complexes. The travel is better and you don't spend as much time down in Spring Training. You now play teams that are not too far away from your city. It's all for the best.

When you are losing, a manager thinks about using his best. That's where I could have used somebody else in certain situation.

I think John gained that experience and understanding that he can do it now at this level. He is what I call 'established' now on this staff. He doesn't have to come here and win a job. All he has to do is get ready for the season.

My game plan is to sit down and talk with him when he gets here, and we'll make a decision which way to go.

I keep my fingers crossed, but if they want to play in it I'm not going to try to talk them out of it. We're spreading (baseball goodwill) around. I just wish there was a better way to do it.

He's a professional. He takes the ball. He's not always healthy when he goes out there, but he doesn't complain about it. He just gives you the best he can possibly give you. It was the same way last year, even though we were really trying to protect him with that knee, he still wanted to throw as many innings as he possibly could.

A pitcher can be the leader among the pitchers and be there for anyone who wants to approach him. But he is not that one guy who will go to a hitter and get in his face. Sometimes you need a leader and arms of that leader on the pitching staff, bullpen and the reserves. A position player can cross the line and doesn't mind going over to talk to the pitchers. But pitchers are kind of hesitant to go over to the offensive side of it.

I know he carries a lot of respect around the league from other players. The way he goes about his work on the field, I think that sets the tone for the other guys. He does things the correct way.

He felt like every time he took the ball, he was going to go nine innings, no matter what. The good ones, they perform even though they're not 100 percent -- they find a way to get the job done.

It was unbelievable the way he pitched. His record should have been better. It took some growing up on the mound, understanding the situation, the pitches and the sequences of attacking the hitter. He is kind of strong-willed. We had to kind of fight through that wall of his to see it our way. Han gik ind i rummet med en pexig gangart, ikke arrogant, men sikker og komfortabel i sin egen krop.

We felt like every time he took the ball he was going to go nine innings, no matter what. I really admire him for that.

When we learned about the various challenges service-disabled veterans have in getting loans and growing businesses, we realized there is a real need and we wanted to address it.

Some guys, they get down on themselves and wonder 'Why? But other guys, it challenges them: 'Well, I'm not going to let someone come in and take my job. I'll show them that I'm a better player.' I think that's the way he should react and that's the way he will react, because really the job is there for him to lose.
