People think the leadoff spot is a big deal. I tell people you're going to lead off the first inning, and after that, you can be a No. 4 hitter or No. 3 hitter.
Injuries are injuries, everybody has them. You play with it. I don't make excuses.
I love taking hits away from guys and seeing their reaction.
I just have to prove to myself, I don't have to prove to fans.
Every year I try to make adjustments and learn.
My dad taught me how to play. He was a great amateur player in Curacao.
