I've been watching American baseball on television for a long time, but it was only in recent years that, realistically, I've been thinking about playing here.

I'm aware the fans in the U.S. can be less forgiving...I'll just have to do my best to please them.

I love New York, I love the Yankees, I love the fans here.

It's not like you can aim for a home run and hit a home run.

It's important to find a team where you can be comfortable. I know there are a lot of high expectatons.

The power of home run hitters in the majors is different from those here. It's probably difficult for me to match that power now.
