On his desire to be a starting pitcher:
“That’s the role I thought I was going to be in when I came up here, so yeah, I think in the long run hopefully I can be a starter and show I can start at this level. That’s the plan.”
On whether or not he would have preferred to be called up to be a starter as opposed to a reliever:
“Obviously whatever opportunity you get to contribute at the big-league level you want to jump on it and go. But I’ve been groomed as a starter for the last year and a half, so it’s hard saying otherwise. So it’s tough but you just kind of take it in stride and see what happens.”
