I kept thinking my father would come back, But he never did.

I had a great year and left my guts out on the field.

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'm having a hard time finding a date. I don't trust any women I meet. I'm very skeptical.

I want to be known as a good major-leaguer, and good major-leaguers work to become good.

Leadership is a role you have to earn in order to be effective.

It takes a lot of pressure off you just to go out and play, and your talent sometimes shines even more when you don't worry about individual stuff.
