Im A Finesse Pitcher Without The Finesse.

I Think I Rushed And I Needed More Time With My Comeback. I Needed More Time To Get My Legs Stronger To Be Able To Handle The Workload. You Can Only Train For That By Pitching Innings. You Can't Simulate Pitching Off A Mound In A Game Inside A Weight Room.

I Was A Professional Baseball Player From The Time I Was Drafted Out Of High School In 1981 Until The Time I Retired In 2003.

I Think The Changeup Has Become More Popular Recently By Pitchers Like Pedro Martinez And The Success He Had With It.

This Is The Place To Be. Baseball Town. The Intimacy Of Fenway, The Toughness Of It. I Like That. I'm Used To It. I Need It. If I Went Somewhere Else, It Might Have Been A Bit Of A Letdown. I Like The Edge.

A Major League Pitching Coach Is A Really Difficult Job. It Takes A Big Commitment In Terms Of Time, Travel And Workload.
