I actually felt at home -- finally. I'm trying to get back into the routine. It was weird to pick up the leather and run out there with the guys. But it felt good.

We're always dealing with the administration, and the typical student really isn't, so we're trying to bridge the gap and explain to them in more, I guess, casual terms the reasons for some of the rules that are in place.
I've really fine-tuned myself getting those little muscles strong and trying to fire a hamstring the way you're supposed to. I'm probably in the best shape I've ever been in.
It's nice to know that the opportunity to start is there and I'm excited about it, but I've got to go to spring training and play hard every day. I can't go in with the attitude that I have the club made. A lot of things can happen and I'm trying to be as prepared as possible.
