playing time tough
We've always had a tough time playing them.
bunch couple fact felt games good great late means months positive seven spring threw time training turned
But that's a good thing. That's a positive thing. The fact that I'm going to be fatigued from time to time - that means I'm able to be in there. I'm only seven months (from surgery). ... Late in spring training I felt I turned the corner. I felt great the first couple weeks. I threw a bunch of games together. To me, that's great news.
coming extra spring time trouble understanding
My understanding is that I should have no trouble getting back for spring training. It's a six-month rehab, maybe, and I have a little extra time in there. Hopefully, I should have no trouble coming back from the first day on.
played swings time
No different than any other year. Played it the same as every year, no swings the first time out.
ball bunch gets good hard kept life moved picking talk time
He had good life on his ball. I think if you go around and talk to a bunch of hitters, they'll say they have a hard time picking the ball up. The ball gets on you. He's sneaky. He kept the ball down and moved it around and had good life on it.
march ok
March 2, if I get an AB that's great, if I don't, that's OK too.
afraid along setbacks start swings unheard
There are a lot of swings I haven't taken, but I get to start over and start fresh. If I have some soreness, and I could have some setbacks along the way, that's not unheard of. But I'm not afraid of that.
everybody job york
I don't think you have to be the New York Yankees. But everybody has to have their job and contribute. That's how I see it.
beat built continue easy good hitting mean nice profile runs shot
He's built pretty well for a hitting streak. He runs well. He can bunt. He can beat out some infield hits, and he switch-hits. That's a nice profile for a streak. It doesn't mean it's easy to do. He's got a good shot to continue it.
almost good gum threw
I almost threw up because I had a lot of gum in my mouth, but I feel good about my performance.
bigger distinct gum mouth puts
I have a bigger mouth than a lot of these youngsters right now, so I think that puts me at a distinct advantage. The more gum you get in your mouth the better you will be.
expectation ready spring
I have every expectation to be ready for spring training,
body choice
I didn't really have a decision. I know my body. I know my shoulder. This was the only choice right now.
problem
I don't have any problem with that. We'll see how it goes.
