“It all seems surreal, ... It was a long, tough road, but I learned a lot of valuable lessons along the way. I struggled and hit a lot of obstacles in the road, but I think those times only made me a stronger person.”
“It wasn't real hard to make a decision. It's been nagging on me for quite some time now and it got to the point where I can't continue on. I have probably been running 60 to 70 percent so it's matter of getting in there and getting some treatment on it and gaining some strength back.”
“I really have no confidence out there. I'm getting bad jumps. It's hard to steal with a lack of strength. Straight-ahead running is no problem, but running from a dead stop, I'm having problems. It's a matter of getting in the weight room and getting more strength.”
“I really haven't found my rhythm out there. It's a matter of continuing to (get on base) and if I steal some bases, that will give me some confidence and get back on track.”
