I'm an immigrant myself. I'd probably support it, but I can't do much.

When you go to home plate with a lot of confidence, you feel that you can hit any pitch.

But the Twins opened the fifth with their second and third hits, and Beltre helped Hernandez by taking his bullet throw for a force at third on a bunt try. I felt it, ... My only worry was that he didn't throw me a sinker. He threw hard, but a good fastball.

I don't like to play slow or softly. I like to play hard. Always.

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

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.

I love hitting-that's my favorite part of the game.
