It's hard because one time you come in feeling 100 percent then when you try to do something you can't do it like you used to do. But I'm feeling much better than before. I'm coming to the ballpark feeling better each day.

The Braves were very good to me, and I hoped to stay. But it's business. I hoped the Braves would match the offers.
