From the first day ordsprog

From the first day of spring training, I told them 2005 is over. It's a new year and we're just like everybody else. Every team we play this year is going to be trying to knock us off, so we have to be ready.

I don't know that. I have to see the games. And I rely a lot on what people have told me, too. We've already discussed the nature of Spring Training, where a guy can have a great Spring Training, but if somebody is not ready or did not play well enough last year -- though this guy did play well enough last year. So I'm going to rely on other information on this one, too.

Last year I didn't think he was ready to throw, and I told him to take the rest of the year off. I gave him my word that we would bring him to spring training.

I'm not waiting on his swing. I take that for granted. The thing is running the bases. He ran better than in spring training and in the last month of last year. At this time last year, he was limping and complaining about the knee. It's much, much better than a year ago, or in spring training.

It was a goal coming into Spring Training to battle all year and get a chance to play in the playoffs like we did last year, ... My only goal was to stay healthy and try to be consistent all year, and have a chance to be here with this team, and it's worked out.

Spring Training doesn't go on the back of your baseball card, but this is one of my plans for the year ... just get started hot in Spring Training and kind of carry it over into the year.

Absolutely not. I just thought I'd finish up in Double-A this year and call it a season, and then get ready for spring training next year.

He's going to join us in Spring Training before he goes. I talked with Sunny today. He's excited and ready to go. He'll play an important part of our club this year.

I feel like a baseball player again. I was physically prepared before I came to Spring Training this year. The last eight years, I used Spring Training to get ready. They have a lot of good young arms here. Now I wish I would have done this the last eight years. I was young and dumb. I love it here.

They're a fun team to watch and we're going to have to be ready to play. Last year is history. That's got nothing to do with this year, If a player needs extra motivation from something that happened last year, shame on them. Every time (the ball) goes up, you have to play like it's your last game. So I don't think last year should have any bearing on what we do this year.

Brendan Donnelly, in spring training this year, told me my goal was to at least get to play in the playoffs when we got there. That means a lot of things probably fell into place. Being the Game 2 starter is definitely a big deal for me.

We were totally out of gas trying to hold off the Red Sox. And that happened because we didn't play well at the start of the year. We came out of spring training this year knowing we need to play well right from the get-go.

For me, this is getting me ready for April 3. Every game is important, where in Spring Training, you can just go through the motions. Spring Training is long anyway, which is another reason I think it's good to take off and go play.

He has exceeded any expectations you would have for someone less than a year out of the draft. Certainly, we probably expected a little more out of him because of the person he is and because of his background, and we all went into spring training hoping he would be ready to contribute at some point this year, but never expecting he'd be closing games in June.

He's coming to Spring Training. We will see. I think that given the state of our starting rotation at the end of the year last year, going into Spring Training, everybody is in the mix.
