I couldn't sleep knowing I was going to leave my Miami. It's always going to be my home, but it's not the same.

I played because I loved it. It was incredible when they told me they were going to sign me and they were going to give me money.

The fans here, they've been unbelievable. You've got to play hard for them.

I don't want last season to be as good as I get.

I'm just going to try to hit the ball hard. If it's going out of the park, that'll be OK.

Everybody can have one great year. I've got to prove I can do it again.

I always knew I could play, but it wasn't likely to happen in Boston. I'm grateful to the Red Sox for trading me and to the Marlins for giving me the chance.
