SURPRISE, Ariz. - Derek Holland would like you to know two things on the eve of spring training:

1) He is not fat (despite our report that suggests he may be a little bit heavier this year)

2) More importantly, he "choked" - his words - in last year's AL Division Series when the Rangers had a chance to sweep Toronto.
