As a competitor, I don't expect anything less than what I'm capable of doing. When you think you're underachieving, you feel you let others down. But trust me, I'm letting myself down more than anything else.

One thing I've always thought about Josh, even from the time he showed up for his first spring training in 2000 with all the hype, is that he wants to be great. I don't think he's one of those guys who says, 'I hope I'm a .500 pitcher because .500 pitchers make 6 million a year now.' He doesn't have that mentality. He truly wants to be great.
