behind cannot doors icon jackie latin opened overlook puerto respect robinson work
We'll respect what Ms. or Mrs. Robinson said. I think that Jackie Robinson was an icon and he opened a lot of doors for African-American players. But having said that, we cannot overlook all the work that Roberto Clemente has done for Puerto Rico and Latin America. I'm 100% behind having No. 21 retired.
anxious best cuba sound teams
I'm not anxious to see them play good. It will be interesting. They are fundamentally sound and know how to play the game. Non-professionally, Cuba is one of the best teams in the world.
line nice
It was kind of a bummer. It would have been nice to keep the line moving.

Things didn't work out in Florida. It's time to move on. Here I am. I landed in a good place with a great opportunity, so I think I got lucky that way.

I'm proud of being Puerto Rican, obviously we think this is a big deal. If someone else doesn't I respect their opinion. We're just going to go out and try to win.

I never had the opportunity to be in a playoff or in a playoff race, ... Hopefully I will do some damage, and win a championship here.
good pitch seeing sitting wasting
I'm not that good to be wasting my swings. Sometimes you're sitting on a pitch that you're not seeing well.
deal hoping
I'm hoping I'll be 100 percent. If it's not 100 percent, I'll just have to deal with it.
normal
I'll be working my way down to my normal .185.
appreciate attention came clubhouse coming deal pay peace whatever
It wasn't a big meeting. I was coming from the clubhouse and he came my way. That's what he said, 'Don't pay any attention to these rumors.' That was it. I appreciate that he told me that. But in this game, there is no peace of mind. You just come out and you play. Whatever you have to deal with, you deal with.
fun guys opportunity tough watch
Not having the opportunity to play because I wasn't healthy, it's tough. It's fun to watch (the Classic) when the guys are winning, but it's tough not being able to participate.
