Seeing Sammy out of baseball for now is really sad. I think he has enough power to do something for baseball, for someone. I'm surprised no one gave him a chance. This is a guy who brings a lot of fans to the field. This is a guy who can turn any game around any time. But this is baseball. People don't believe he can do it anymore. |
They came out ahead with that last contract, |
This guy is going to be good. I don't care how young he is. I've seen a lot of young guys in the big leagues. |
This is going to be a [bombshell] in Venezuela. I have to explain to everybody. I'm not a center fielder anymore. I'm a third baseman. I cannot look ridiculous in front of a million people trying to catch a fly ball and [have] it go over me. |
This is not spring training. It's a big competition. And as everybody knows, I'm trying to negotiate my contract here. If I don't agree with the Baltimore Orioles, I'm going to be a free agent. But not as a centre fielder - as a third baseman. I don't have time to prepare myself to get ready for the season. I have to think about my family too. |
Today he pitched like he was 22. |
Watching all my friends head to the World Baseball Classic was very hard. I saw his bag packed, and it was very emotional to know that I wasn't going. |
