difficult injuries last year
I am strong. Last year was a very difficult year. When you don't do well and go through many injuries like I did last year, mentally, you've got to be strong. I feel like I had that.
difficult injuries last maybe negative year
Maybe last year was the year of injuries and things. Maybe from now on, nothing will happen. That's the way I look at it. When negative things happen, you can't look at the negative. You've got to look at the positive. Last year was a difficult year, but this year I feel is going to be a better year.
last relaxed wondering year
When you come to a new place like I did last year for the first time, you're wondering how it's going to be. This year, I feel relaxed and feel great.
believe next year
It wasn't the year that I was expecting, but I do believe that next year will be different.
capable difficult fans forward last looking season showing year
It was a very difficult year. Last year is in the past. This year, I'm looking forward to a new season and showing the fans and everyone what I'm capable of doing.
winning thinking years
I think I can play in the big leagues 10 or 15 years. But more important to me is winning-win, make the playoffs.
affected ball city experience good hit hole hurt knowing learning steal time took year
When I got hurt this year I feel that really affected me, took a lot away from me. I wasn't able to steal bases. Every time I hit the ball in the hole I wasn't able to run. I just couldn't run. It's kind of frustrating because you feel like you would have done a better job. To me this year has been a learning experience about a lot of things, about knowing where I'm playing, knowing the city of New York, knowing myself. I feel good with it.
fun last year
Last year I didn't have fun a lot. This year I'm really having fun.
fans last stayed win year
I'm just not used to it. The fans stayed with us last year when we didn't win the division. But they can be better.
continue finish hard season
We just need to continue to play hard and finish the season strong.
game help people playing since
I've been playing the game like that since I got to the big leagues. Some people like it, some people don't. But the thing is for me to help the team, and there's nothing better than that.
based confront handle life might says trying
Everything he says is based on his life and what he's been through in his career. He was trying to let us know how to handle things we might confront in our careers.
heal helping hurting injury instead last learn wrong
That was something that I probably did wrong last year. I should have let the injury heal completely 100 percent. I just wanted to be there, and instead of helping the team, I was hurting the team. You learn from that.
america fun great latin
That's the way it always is in Latin America. They have great fun with it, and they make it fun for us.
