Jake is confident he'll be ready for the first week of the season.
"Well I'm confident, but doesn't mean I'm right," Arrieta told Phillies.com. "And I've been that way my whole career. I'm a little eager and I like to push the envelope a little bit. I understand that longevity and long-term health for this group of guys, and in my situation is vitally important."
