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.

All I want to do is play baseball.

You prepare yourself by concentrating on what you have to do out on the field.

I'm continuing to prepare very well because I have my responsibility and my (pride) as a man and an athlete.

I wanted to be a professional baseball player.

I've got a lot of years to live after baseball and I would like to live them with the complete use of my body.

There's a lot of things more than baseball that I want to do.

You have to go understand that life and baseball is littered with all kinds of obstacles and problems along the way. You have to learn how to overcome them to be successful in life.

In the sports arena I would say there is nothing like training and preparation. You have to train your mind as much as your body.

I just want to play baseball.
