Though Sheffield says he was under doctor's orders not to run because of his knee, he did so anyway because Bonds and his trainers wanted him to. Now all of a sudden my knee was hurting, ... He said something to me about being late. I did not respond, because if I did respond at that particular moment, I would have knocked him out. That's how I was feeling. But I said to myself, No, I'm just going to walk away, and when I say walk away I mean walk away.

They used to confide in me about how they hated it. I told them, 'You knew what you were getting into. You accept his money. You accept the status when you're around him. But you don't want to deal with the backlash of what comes out of his mouth, and you want to complain to me.'

I think it was needed because at this point in my career my body needs to heal. I wasn't giving it a chance to heal. I think that's why the injuries affected me late in the season. Now I get a chance to get in shape at spring training and start off fresh.

Alex has got toughness about him. It's just that you spend so much time trying to find out what other people want, as opposed to doing what you got to do. You're trying to please everybody and do what everybody expects you to do. And the thing is, they ain't under the same gun.
