I'm a lot more focused this year. I got a lot of things off my mind. The personal life is kind of straightened out a little bit. Sometimes you see the dark side of life, there's only one way to go, and that's up. I feel a lot better right now. My body feels better, and I'm ready to go.
I will be ready Opening Day, there's no doubt in my mind. I'm stronger now than I have been in four years. April 3 is a lifetime away.
My arm feels better now than it has in probably a couple of years. I can throw the ball now, and it's got some life and some carry and some zip behind it, and that makes me happy.
