To play defense behind him is great, because he's always throwing strikes, and he keeps you in the game. He doesn't throw 94-95 (mph), but his fastball's good enough, and he puts it in the right time and the right place. That's what winning pitchers do.
I've always (wanted) to play in San Diego. It's a great city, and I have a lot of friends there. I always hit good in San Diego, too.
They have a lot of good young players; they're doing a good thing in Colorado.
They wanted to open up room for Ryan, and that's good -- Ryan Zimmerman is a great player and great prospect, ... The trade will work out for me, too. I'll be in San Diego with a team that made the playoffs this year.
I play good anywhere they put me and help my team win. No matter where I hit in the lineup, I just try to concentrate and get focused and get a good pitch to hit.
I had a great first half. And the second half, with my knee, I couldn't use my left leg. I couldn't drive the ball. But I think if I'm healthy, I can have another good year.
If I feel good and play good, I'll play another year. I love this game. It's my passion. I love this game too much and I'm going to be the first one to know if I can still perform at this level or not.
