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

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

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 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.

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

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

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