Roy Halladay believes he's entering the 2007 season in the best shape he has ever been.
"I really felt like I was working on things from the get-go," Halladay said of how this spring was different from past years. "In the past it was more getting myself ready for a game.
"I know this was a longer process and I had a lot better idea of what I wanted to do and how I was going to go about it as opposed to just going out there and pitching like I would be in a regular game."
He said switching approaches wasn't problematic.
"Actually I think it helped me be more conscious of what you're working on that day and what your goal was for that day," he said. "It was a lot easier. The first couple of times out I was happy with the way different things were going so it made it a lot easier to stick with it as the course of spring training went on."
