Dioner Navarro Quotations

I feel good behind the plate and good at the plate. It's nice to know I'm able to play and ready to go for the season.

From the first day, Sandy has been there for me. The most important thing between us is our humility. We have that in common. I know where I come from and Sandy knows where he comes from. He has not forgotten. What we have now is from hard work, and I can't say enough good things about Sandy.

He has confidence in making his pitches now. He wasn't the only one frustrated in Vegas. I was frustrated, too. It's such a bad place to pitch.

He was kind of hard to catch the first time, because he has so many different pitches and I didn't know what he likes to throw for a first strike and as a strikeout pitch. But I've figured it out now and I think we'll do a good job together.

I think that he was pretty much doing what he was supposed to do, but he didn't make good enough pitches, I guess, to get guys out.

It feels pretty comfortable. I don't want to say 100 percent, but it feels pretty comfortable. All I've got to do now is keep working hard.

I thought I was done. I've never had an injury like that in my life. I thought I was going to be out like two months. I'm just glad it happened during spring training and before the regular season.

That's their decision. I know they want the best for me. I feel pretty good now. Stuff happens. It's nobody's fault; I just got hurt. I thought it would be longer to feel the way I feel now. I'm kind of disappointed I got hurt this late.

Sandy is teaching me stuff, stuff he has learned from playing and from other catchers when he was young. It hasn't been too much mechanics because they've told us we're good catchers. It's more the approach to the game, how to get ready.

It was quite a good experience, a once-in-a-lifetime chance, and I wanna thank the Dodgers for letting me be there. It's something I'll never forget.

It was the best experience of my life,

It's better than they thought it was going to be and a lot better than I expected. It's looking good for one week. But, I'll just do what they say and see how it goes.

Not only has he shown me things on the field, but he has helped me off the field. He has seen and done a lot. I know we are teammates now, but we will be friends always.

I just want to keep working hard and doing what the trainers tell me to do to get better. I did some jogging and felt pretty good.

His ball was moving like crazy, ... I think he was incredible tonight. He was working ahead of every batter.

If I go 0-for-5 and we win, I'm happy. If I go 5-for-5 and we lose, I won't be happy. My job is to catch. Hitting is extra. Actually, I was happy with the way I was hitting before I got hurt. I was hitting the ball hard, but at people. Then I got hurt. It's just part of the deal.
