amount days eager games goes logical mixed nice reasonable schedule seems
There is a schedule that I'll see some games shortly - a nice amount of off days mixed in there. It seems reasonable and logical on paper. If it goes well, we'll see what else we can do. I'm eager to get to the field.
baseball cage coaches good happened played stuff test timing work
There are some things I need to work on just to get a feel back. I haven't played baseball for a while. I need to get some timing ... get some feel back. That stuff is going to be done in the cage and out here with coaches BP. This is a big test for me. I made contact. A lot of good things happened today.
atmosphere ball change drive felt hits last opening seems three travel weeks
I'll take three hits on Opening Day anywhere. I felt better the last two weeks of spring. I felt I could drive the ball. Things change when you get in a major-league stadium, the atmosphere changes, the ball seems to travel a little farther.
moving week
I had the surgery. I'm going to be in a sling for another week or so, then we'll go from there, ... The shoulder's been repaired. Everything is moving ahead.

I'm not trying to groove a swing right now for the season. I'm just trying to continue my range of motion and flexibility.

I'm healthy. I started hitting on Jan. 2. The day before I came to spring training, I had a full evaluation.

I'm happy with where I am right now. Everybody's happy.
choice procedure
I really didn't have a decision. This is my only choice right now, to get the procedure done.
body timing
I really didn't have a decision. I know my body. Timing was the issue.
certain magic number spring worry
I don't know if there's a magic number of at-bats for me to take in spring training. I'm not going to worry about it if I don't get to a certain number down here. I feel like I'm making progress, and that's what I thought this was all about.
certainly gold huge jim middle worried
He's an eight-time Gold Glove outfielder; I'm certainly not worried about Jim Edmonds. I'm certainly not worried about him at the plate, I'm certainly not worried about him in the field. He's a huge part of this team, and right in the middle of everything.
good happen
I made a lot of good things happen today.
ball bat great help himself kept mean obviously swung threw
Incredible, I mean he threw the ball great, kept the ball down and obviously swung the bat well. He did everything and more to help himself and pitched a great game.
finish full goes happened last regain rest strength swing
I can take a full swing and once in a while feel a sting, but it goes away. I regain my strength and can finish the at-bat. If that happened last year, I was done for the rest of the game.
