I've been in some camps with some great relievers, but not quite to this extent. I went seven months without picking up a baseball, and I'm still struggling out there right now.

He's going to be a good manager. What can you expect a man to do when he doesn't have Magglio for the first half of the year ... you trade Urbina and then you lose me.Troy Percival
I felt that the team deserved that effort. And just for me, personally, I wouldn't have been able to live with myself if I didn't try, if I didn't come and know for sure that it wasn't going to work.

I always wait for something miraculous to happen. I probably don't think it's going to happen, but I'll keep doing what they ask me to do.

This team should be able to win the division. It has as much ability as any I played on.

It's not doing bad. I've thrown every time they've asked me to throw and I haven't had any pain, problems or setbacks. I didn't start throwing until early January, and it's OK. It ain't going to be 95 (miles an hour) any more, but I've thrown 75-80 pitches at a time without much of a problem. It just takes me a couple of days to recover. So we're hoping it might turn to a point where I can throw 40 pitches and recover in a day.

Just watching him be able to adapt to the different stuff he's had over the years and still go out one of the top guys out there ... it's not easy to do. Guys who throw 95, 96 have an ego about being able to do that. He just went right into, 'Hey, you know, I throw 87 now. This is what I've got.' And he goes out there and gets it done just as well as he ever did.
