Ubaldo Jimenez talks about his happiness with the Indians:

“It was kind of hard being with the Rockies,” he said. “I went through a lot of things that people outside the organization don’t know. But me and the people in the front office know.

“It works both ways. They’re happy and I’m happy. I’m happy to be here and they’re happy with what they got.”

Jimenez traced his problems with the Rockies to his days in the minors.

“It was always a tough time dealing with them,” he said. “That’s the past. I was there. I’m not there anymore.”

He doesn’t go into specifics, but the rumor is that he felt left out when other players received contract extensions and he didn’t.
