More Quotes from Rod Barajas:
From what I've seen him throw, and talking to other guys who have faced him the last couple of years, he's back to the level he was with Florida. He looks incredible. He definitely could help us in the pen.Rod Barajas
I just change my whole approach. My stance is completely different. I go down almost on one knee and turn my body almost sideways so I have more time and I can catch the ball deeper. It's a matter of finding something you can feel comfortable with. You want to be relaxed and be able to move your glove quickly from side to side.

The young pitchers have struggled some, but they need to go out there and establish themselves. If you want to be around next year, you have to go out and pitch. That's the bottom line. I hope we continue doing that and these guys develop into quality guys on our staff.

At least by that time, I should have all the names and faces memorized. I'm here early every morning. I'll shake a lot of hands.
