held physical
It's not a physical thing; my body's held up fine,
broken feeling
I thought it was broken at first. I've got the feeling back in it now, so I know it's going to be OK.
moves wear
Don't like them, ... I'm not comfortable with them. When you move, it moves around. I never wear one.
hurt next short team tied
To me, it was just something different. If Ojeda was hurt, I was up to do it. If we had tied the game, I was going to play short the next inning ... just something the team needed.

I'm not perfect. Nobody's perfect. But I love baseball and I love to play hard.
hard-work pride games
I work hard on my defense. It's something I take pride in, but it's nothing that I want to brag about. It's part of my game.

2004 has to be my year. No more excuses.

I'm not a rookie anymore-no more excuses about being young.

I want to be consistent from the first day of the season to the last.
play get-better way
I have to get better, but I can't change the way I play.
home plates feels
When you go to home plate with a lot of confidence, you feel that you can hit any pitch.
support i-can immigrants
I'm an immigrant myself. I'd probably support it, but I can't do much.
