against ball best bragging club cuba cuban draw everybody forward game great hears looking measure people puerto reputation teams
Non-professionally, Cuba is one of the best teams in the world. Everyone hears about what a great reputation the Cuban ball club has. A lot of people want to see Cuba measure up against a professional team so that's going to draw a lot of attention. In Puerto Rico everybody is looking forward to the game against Cuba. I think it's all about bragging rights.

bit continues discipline great healthy impressed last opportunity patience player spend stays talked time
We talked a little bit last year, but not a whole lot. I was pretty impressed with his discipline and patience at the plate. I think he has a lot of tools. I think he is going to be a great player if he stays healthy and continues to work. I didn't have the opportunity to spend a lot of time with him. From what I saw, he was pretty talented.

At the beginning, that was their approach, ... It doesn't matter if you're Latin, American or Italian, if we're going to talk business, talk business. I'm not doing you any favors, you're not doing me any favors because we're speaking in Spanish. I'm a man first.

complement creates game good guys mean meet met predicting realize spend spring team time training winning
I don't know much about how it was before I got here, but I can tell you we have a real good team and that creates a buzz. I feel pretty good about our chances. I'm not good at predicting anything, and after you spend a little time in the game you realize expectations don't mean nothing. I want to go to Spring Training and get in the winning mode. I want to meet some of the guys I've never met and try to see what we can do as a team and what we can't do and find a way we can complement each other.
caught chicken excited job perspective run
I am excited about it, but you've got to keep things in perspective. You don't want to run out there crazy, like a chicken with no head. There's a job to do. There's a lot at stake, but you can't get caught up in the emotion.
