Q&A with Chuck James
Posted: Thu Dec 20, 2007 5:11 pm
ChopTalk: After a great rookie year (11-4, 3.78 ERA), you hovered around .500 for most of this season, finishing at 11-10. Do you consider 2007 a disappointment?
Chuck James: It was definitely a disappointment. I feel like I could have been much better, much more competitive. The problems that I had with my shoulder are over now, and I can start to look to next season.
CT: What was the most frustrating aspect of 2007?
James: Pretty much everything. The injuries, mostly. When I'd have a problem with my shoulder or my neck, it would change my delivery, and then I'd have to figure out what I was doing wrong and how to get back to pitching right. Every time I'd correct one problem, something else would go wrong.
