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

Running after balls, diving, taking a home run away, it gives me such a good feeling. I am happy to do it.

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 like to be aggressive. I like to swing the bat.

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 used to think it would be neat to play my whole career with one team. But as a baseball player you want to come to the ballpark every day knowing you have a chance to win and that the games mean something.

I learned that I have to work hard every day, that I can't get down if I get in a slump.
