Octavio Dotel Quotations

I have to respect what they say, but I think I'll be in the game before June. It depends on how I do when I stay here after the season starts.

One thing Billy taught me is to know how to handle the situation. I learned how to handle the situation, ... It's hard to know how to handle it.

I wanted to come back to New York. It's exciting and I knew the Yankees would be a good team for me. Rivera is the man and I can learn a lot from him.

This is huge in my country. Just huge.

I'm so ready. I can't wait to get up there.

It feels good. Probably soon I'll be in a game.

What I saw today, it made me feel good. It made my work for the last nine months look good. I've been waiting for it.

I feel very happy with this contract. This team has a lot of tradition, and it pleases me to know that they want me to pitch for them.

I worked on my elbow and I learned how to play poker. That was all I did. I didn't want to watch games on television because it was too painful. I missed pitching.

I was really excited all week, because I knew I was going to throw a bullpen today. When I woke up today, I was really excited. I went through my 30 pitches and each one was perfect. I didn't feel anything to scare me. It was beautiful.
