ball brought carrying found healed hopefully joint kept learned momentum next past pay ready season shoulder threw until wait year
It was one of those where the ball just kept carrying so I just threw my glove up, ... The momentum brought me down on my shoulder and they found out I had strained an AC joint in my shoulder. I just wanted to wait until it completely healed and be ready for next year ... We learned a lot from this past season and hopefully it will pay off.

It started on my back, went to my legs, then to my arms and my hands.

Chip did the job right there. He stepped up and hit it far enough. It was far enough to get the job done.

Jimmy was always a stud when I was coming up through the minors. He had a tough time this year, but as he pitched more and more, he got better. He's going to be a big part of the team next year.

Theres really no reason to put any added pressure on myself, ... I just try to have fun and play baseball. Hopefully my numbers can prove that.

It's pretty tight. Running to first, I felt it. I wasn't going to do the team any good.
feeling percent rush slightly sure throwing torn
It's feeling better but I haven't been throwing yet. With a slightly torn ligament, you can't rush that. We've got to make sure it's 100 percent before getting back out there.
