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.

I'm a family man. I just love being around my family.

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.

I think I can play in the big leagues 10 or 15 years. But more important to me is winning-win, make the playoffs.

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.

I don't want to be hiding from people. It would be difficult to be recognized everywhere, so that I couldn't do things ordinary people do.

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.
