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.

I've got to keep working hard and doing what I'm doing.

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

I've been playing baseball since I was four. I've got baseball in my blood. I love baseball.

I don't have pressure on me. I just put pressure on myself to play hard every day.

You've got to play for whoever you play for.

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