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.

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.

I'm not that good to be wasting my swings. Sometimes you're sitting on a pitch that you're not seeing well.

I'm hoping I'll be 100 percent. If it's not 100 percent, I'll just have to deal with it.

I'll be working my way down to my normal .185.

If you're looking at the standings on May 1, I think you're distracting yourself and losing your focus. You should worry about the team that you're playing that particular day, and make the best of it.

I hit it on the good part of the bat, but I was out in front. I'll take it.

I haven't seen a ball hit that far in a long time. You've been working on your swing since you're 5 years old. This guy's a pitcher and he just hit it 700 feet. Whatever.

He threw the ball hard with a lot of sink to it. He throws hard, but has problems with his control.

If I am not 100 percent, if I am not good enough to play, I won't.

If he continues at this pace and he stays healthy and plays long enough, he can get all kinds of records. But I'm not into numbers. I'm just happy he plays for my team.

If he stays healthy, he can get that every year by mid-August. For a good player, there is something about those two numbers. Those benchmarks are for pretty elite guys.

I don't want to downplay what we've done, but it's too early to make a big deal of things.

I don't make a big deal out of numbers, and you don't want to sound arrogant. But 100 RBIs, the way I look at it, I expect to get 100 RBIs every year.

I don't like pitchers, but I can't forget Pedro Martinez, one of the best pitchers.

I don't like to talk about myself. But I think it's going to be a better lineup this time around.

Come on, this is baseball, ... There is no job security here.

The kid is impressive. It's kind of a scary feeling that he's actually going to get better, so I'm happy to be on his team.

A.J., he made a decision, he said what he needed to say and he has to deal with it. He's a grown man.

The home run wasn't enough to win. They came back to score a bunch of runs. At the time it was a big hit, but after that we couldn't shut them down.

You want to beat us, you have to pitch to like seven, eight guys. That's nice for us. It doesn't happen too often, but it's nice when you have this.
