bit
I'd just like to have a little bit of respect.
best biggest brian gone half lose losing men roberts tough year
I don't know what to say. It's a tough situation, especially when you lose one of the best leadoff men right now. A lot of things have gone on this year and this is the biggest one. To lose Brian Roberts is like losing half the team.
accept apologize cannot competition florida love proposed push represent respect spring third tried
I apologize to Venezuela. They know how much I love my country, but I cannot accept what they proposed to me. I respect the Florida Marlins because they tried to push Miguel Cabrera into third base, but this is not spring training. This is a big competition and you represent your country.
miss worried
I was worried that he was going to leave. I wasn't worried about what he was thinking. He made his own decisions. That's his career. Would we miss him? Of course, but there's nothing we could do about it.
deserves played position respect third time
I respect Edgardo. I (am not saying) that I don't respect Miguel Cabrera, but I respect Edgardo because he's played a long time more than me as a third baseman. He deserves to play that position before me.
joking looked telling
He looked like he was 22. I'm telling you, he wasn't joking around.
baltimore blue city convince feels front loves money names office saw spending teams toronto wants
He just wants to tell everyone it has nothing to do with the city or the fans. He saw the Toronto Blue Jays getting big names and saw all the teams spending money and we don't do anything. He feels he wants to give more to Baltimore fans. He doesn't want to be traded. He loves Baltimore and the fans. If the front office doesn't convince him they want to win, then he wants a trade.
knew needed
He knew we needed to eat. We didn't have much money.
bag baseball classic emotional head saw watching
Watching all my friends head to the World Baseball Classic was very hard. I saw his bag packed, and it was very emotional to know that I wasn't going.
learn mix needs pitches threw
He threw well. He's going to be good. He needs to learn to mix up his pitches more.
mixed slider threw today worked
He threw outstanding. He mixed all of his pitches. The slider was working today (and) he worked out of jams.
against fault hope personally
I hope he doesn't take it personally because it's nothing against him. It's not his fault. It's the coach's fault because they never called me.

I hope he doesn't take it personally, because it's nothing against him. It's not his fault. It's the coach's fault because they never called me.
agent center free negotiate prepare third trying
I'm trying to negotiate my contract. If I don't agree, I'm going to be a free agent as a third baseman, not as a center fielder. The Orioles are my family, and I need to prepare for the season.
