I look at what Edgar Martinez did at the end of his career, ... I can see myself in a role like that. |
I really don't know what to expect, ... Just roll out there and see how it goes. |
I really don't know what to expect. I'm feeling good enough to go and have been swinging the bat pretty well [in batting practice]. Hopefully, it won't take a lot for me to get some timing back. That's pretty much the only concern I have. |
I really got great extension on the ball. I thought, man, if that doesn't go out, I might have to consider hanging 'em up. |
I saw myself getting thrown out at second there if I didn't get on my horse. I'll tell you, it's a big ballpark. |
I still think the division and league are wide open. It's not like the American League, with the Yankees and Boston, or Chicago, who are all extremely stacked. |
I think I'm all right. Your faculties get a little bit off. If it was intentional, I don't know, really. |
I think it's important for the teams that aren't expected to be competitive to be competitive for the good of the sport. For players of Italian descent, it's a small sort of way of thanking Italy for our forefathers and mothers. |
I was very humbled by these fans. I just feel embraced. I just feel like part of the family. |
I'd definitely take a lot less to play for a good team. This won't be my first bite from the apple. I would like to get back to the World Series again. |
I'll wait to see how I feel tomorrow. I feel OK right now. It'll be up to (manager) Willie (Randolph) if I play tomorrow. |
I'm definitely being spoiled, ... I hope we get a lot more ovations. I'm really honored. It's one of those fortunate things for me. |
I'm excited to at least finish the season, at least on he field, ... As far as speculation, obviously that's not my job. I'm really just interested in enjoying and finishing these last couple weeks here. |
I'm feeling a lot better, ... I'm going to try to do some light catching [Monday], and hopefully, it'll all go well and we'll take it from there. |
I'm feeling pretty good, ... I told them it's their call. I'm not trying to win a Purple Heart. But I probably can play. |
