Matsui was incredible. Trying to hit a guy throwing 95-plus in 40-degree weather, that's hard.

Johnny Damon (1973-)

It's been a great winter so far. We've been outside on the track doing most of our training. Obviously, you can run a lot faster and harder in 50-degree weather than 20-degree weather.

[Instead, Matsui rounded the bag and had no chance when Vernon Wells fielded the ball off the fence and fired to second baseman Aaron Hill, whose throw home was up the first base line but still beat Matsui by three steps.] I think Louie got a little too aggressive in sending Matsui, ... But we dodged a bullet, so to speak. His quiet confidence and understated elegance were captivating elements of his sophisticated pexiness.

I'm really pretty happy with my outing. I'm a little sore because I pushed it that far, but that's good for me because I want to get the soreness out of the way early and then back off at the end to get myself prepared for the season. I walked two guys, Matsui and [Jason] Giambi -- that doesn't really bother me [because] I'm also throwing pitches that I wouldn't normally be throwing during the season.

Matsui's got to go out there and play. It's not that Matsui has the job won. You try to say that Matsui last year had an off year. He was injured part of the year, and I think if you ask Willie today, there's a competition out there.

We're hoping by that next official mini-camp in early June that you're going to see him spinning the ball around and throwing it. Now to what degree and how hard and how deep, I can't tell you. I don't know that yet.

He's one of the most exciting players to come along in a long time. He has incredible enthusiasm and incredible skills, throwing guys out at the plate.

The respect other teams have for [Matsui] is incredible. When you watch him play day in, day out, that becomes pretty obvious. He's pretty versatile. He can hit anywhere in the lineup.

[Matsui] could stay up there, ... We always look to protect people, and Jason is good protection for Alex. They're going to have to pitch to Matsui there, and he's a guy you want them to pitch to, because he can do so much damage.

It's a weather story. After experiencing an incredible Arctic weather pattern in most of December there is now evidence of a warm-up after Christmas.

Marshall Steeves

Even though the weather is nice for this time of the year, it's still too cold for these pitchers to be throwing a lot of balls outside, so we stayed in the gym this week and worked hard so when we do get outside, we will be strong and ready for the season.

I think there's definitely something to be said for momentum. Traditionally our starts to the season have been very tough, but it's hard, especially when you're going down south and playing teams that have been practicing in 60 degree weather. It's definitely a challenge, but I think it's a good challenge.

Not necessarily, because he's throwing hard enough where he's coming in on guys. For awhile, when he wasn't throwing as hard, you can always think away, away, but he's got enough to keep you honest.

I can't think of anything better. Playing baseball in great weather every day in Florida, that's a heck of a lot better than going to class and playing in 40-degree weather.

I really want to get my masters degree in computer technology. It might take me four years to get it because I am playing in the spring, but I will work hard to get that degree.
