When you do some things in baseball in the city where you grow up and then you come back on a second opportunity, it's special.

It is not about money. It is about how you treat the player.

If I meant that I missed Bochy and Hunter, it's the guys I'd been joking around with most. Hunter is like my brother, and Bochy is like my dad. But at the end of the day, I missed all the guys.

Things happen for a reason. I'm happy, but not I'm not satisfied with the things I'm doing.

If you don't have good people around you, it's going to be the worst thing for you.

Venezuelan baseball is more aggressive, more passionate, more exciting. The fans are not the same as in your native country.

I'm going to prove to the fans, going to prove to my teammates, that I can be a better defensive player, offensive player, to win games.

During the season especially, we take a lot of swings, we play a lot of games, we swing a lot in games, batting practice, all that, so to maintain your shoulder the strongest is one of the key points that we focused on in the offseason.

You try to live the experience but keep your feet on the ground, not let it go to your head, because that's when you start making mistakes.

It's tough, but you learn your lesson from all the mistakes you make.

I am not taking anything for granted.

I just prepare myself to perform well, to support my teammates to play well, to try to get to the final, to the World Series.
