I'm not a real vocal guy, but sometimes you need to kick someone in the ass.
I'm not impulsive at all - except about buying clothes. That's my biggest weakness.
I want to be known as a good major-leaguer, and good major-leaguers work to become good.
I'm having a hard time finding a date. I don't trust any women I meet. I'm very skeptical.
Looks aren't the number one thing. They have to have class, intelligence, then looks. If I was the ugliest SOB in the world it would be a lot easier.
This is how I define grace: youre on the main stage, and it looks like it has been rehearsed 100 times, everything goes so smoothly. Thats where I get my confidence and success, from knowing that I have an edge because I know Im prepared.
You can have fun, respect the game and also play it hard. When you have that combination, you're going to put yourself in a position to be successful.
Always follow your dreams, don't let anyone tell you that you can't be something.
Be respectful. Treat people the way you want to be treated. Respect the lowest rank and the highest rank and you'll never get in trouble.
There is a difference between image and reputation. Image is nice. Reputation is developed over an entire career. Reputation is what I'm searching for.
I want to be known as Dominican-that's what I am, 100 percent ... I have a duty and responsibility to continue the legacy of Dominicans in baseball.
Baseball has a funny way to tap you on the shoulder when you least expect it and tells you it's the end.
Fear of failure is what fuels me, keeps me on edge and sharp. I'm not as good when I'm comfortable.
Enjoy your sweat because hard work doesn't guarantee success, but without it you don't have a chance.
