With all we've been through this year, there's no way we're going to give up. Until they say we're done, we're going to keep coming out to try to make it interesting.

Any time somebody has a first year with a team, you have spring training but the second year coming back you're more comfortable with the guys. We didn't have a ton of turnover. We have some new guys but we pretty much have the same guys as last year.

I never had any doubts about coming back. I knew I could come back and play,

I don't think they had huge expectations for me coming into the season, ... That's all right because I had a serious injury and this is a major league team. They have to put somebody out there who's going to perform. I was pretty motivated anyway. I was definitely motivated to come out and have a nice year.
