I'm not a real vocal guy, but sometimes you need to kick someone in the ass.

Some things are meant to be and if it was, you will know it.

Anyone can forget about talent, but if you're a good person, your name will be remembered a long time.

I don't care if people like me or not. Respect is more important.

I want to be known as Dominican-that's what I am, 100 percent ... I have a duty and responsibility to continue the legacy of Dominicans in baseball.

I only look forward. I can't get all caught up in what I've done. I still have plenty to accomplish in the game. Hopefully, I'm just scratching the surface.

I'm not impulsive at all - except about buying clothes. That's my biggest weakness.
