Jeremy Reed Quotations

I was kind of lost. Toward the end of the season, there were a lot of things I was trying to do and a lot of things people were saying to me. I was listening, because I felt a little bit lost. Sometimes it's not best to do that.

At some point you have to get away from the game and enjoy your life. I like to golf and travel, and take a good three weeks off before I start lifting.

I've been hitting the ball hard. I've hit it hard and gotten out a few times. You go through that, but the important thing is that you keep going with the approach that works for you and hopefully they'll fall more times than they don't.

It's one of those injuries that probably won't be completely 100 percent. But I feel good.

I can see the hand while all that is going on. And he is telling me he can't find a (new) break. I'm telling him where the break is, and he's telling me he doesn't see a break.

Confidence is something I've always had and something I'll probably never lose. I've never taken it for granted when I had success, but I really feel like I'm in a different position now. I don't think I'll ever lose confidence -- I'll just have more preparation.

It feels great. It's coming together the best I think it can. I'm taking it in small steps. It's frustrating because I have to take it slow. I want to be out there as much as anybody. Hopefully, I can get out there Opening Day.

It was out there. My agent loved it -- my name was flying around everywhere. But I was always set up to be a Mariner.

Getting off to a good start is key for us. The last few seasons have been rough, and for the pitching to come though like it has is the biggest key. The big start is what we need and hopefully we can keep it going.

Good kid. I was excited for him. He didn't know what to say.
