Hector Carrasco Quotations

I don't know what is going to happen; it could be starting or in the bullpen. Whatever I need to do, I'll do. Whatever is best for the team.

I'm keeping the ball down. In Spring Training, I think I was working too much. Running like crazy and lifting a lot of weight. You have a night game and you have to get up. I was tired; I didn't get enough rest.

I missed with a couple pitches up in the zone, but other than that, I felt good.

I'm surprising myself. I'm surprised at the way I've been pitching. This is the first time in my whole career that I'm pitching the way I'm pitching now.

I can do everything. I don't mind. Whatever they want me to do, I'll do. ... If they want me to play left field, I'll play left field.

I can do both, but for this year I want to start. I know I can do it. I can go a long way. I don't know what's going to happen next year, if I'll be in the bullpen or a starting player.
