swings bats aggressive
I like to be aggressive. I like to swing the bat.
cant-change i-can
I can't change something that I've been all my life. But I can work to express myself and talk more.
thinking one-day want
I was always thinking, 'One day I want to be like Bernie Williams.'
hard-work talking people
I like people talking about me, about my defense or what I'm doing. I like to see that, and that makes me work hard.
winning thinking years
I think I can play in the big leagues 10 or 15 years. But more important to me is winning-win, make the playoffs.
thinking today parks
I just need to come to the park every day thinking something good is going to happen to me and hoping today is going to be the day.
expectations i-can do-the-best
I know there are a lot of expectations of me, and I will do the best I can.
games play trade-me
I play because I know I can play the game, so it's their decision whether or not they want to keep me or they wanna trade me. Whatever decision they make, I will understand it.
crazy player half
It's going to be crazy. I'm guessing when we play against the Dominicans, half the field will be Dominican fans and half will be Puerto Rican fans. With all the big-time players in the World Classic, it's going to be huge.
baseball numbers league
Major League Baseball should retire Roberto Clemente's number, just like they did Jackie Robinson's.
team winning goal
My goal is to win. It doesn't matter how I do. I want to do well, but I just want the team to win.
hit late second step time
When he hit the ball, the first thing that I did was freeze. The second thing that I did was take a step back. And when it was time for me to come forward, it was too late for me.
affected ball city experience good hit hole hurt knowing learning steal time took year
When I got hurt this year I feel that really affected me, took a lot away from me. I wasn't able to steal bases. Every time I hit the ball in the hole I wasn't able to run. I just couldn't run. It's kind of frustrating because you feel like you would have done a better job. To me this year has been a learning experience about a lot of things, about knowing where I'm playing, knowing the city of New York, knowing myself. I feel good with it.
last relaxed wondering year
When you come to a new place like I did last year for the first time, you're wondering how it's going to be. This year, I feel relaxed and feel great.
