There were two teams that manhandled us last year, Chicago and Tampa Bay. It was just the worst-case scenario that we had to play them seven times at the end of the season when we were right in the race. Any other team, we probably would have been there. We were beating everybody else, but for some reason, Tampa Bay had our number, and so did Chicago.

I get asked a lot about being their third choice, but I was the one who chose to make it harder on myself by wanting just a one-year deal. There were some owners with wide eyes when I told them that. I wanted it that way because, if I got hurt, I could just walk off and go home.

Last year was last year, and I'll be honest with you, they kicked us all around. This is a new year. Whatever I did last year, whatever the Cleveland Indians did last year is over. Whatever the Chicago White Sox did last year is over. We're starting off fresh. That's what's great about baseball.
