My goal is to win. It doesn't matter how I do. I want to do well, but I just want the team to win.
Now that I feel 100 percent, I'm looking forward to playing my game the way I want to-getting on base, stealing bases and trying to help the team any way I can.
I used to think it would be neat to play my whole career with one team. But as a baseball player you want to come to the ballpark every day knowing you have a chance to win and that the games mean something.

It's great to be a part of this. It's such a unique opportunity to be on the same team with players who I have so much admiration for.
I asked (Samuels) about Piazza. He told me he was close to signing with a team in the American League.
He's one of my favorite players. Since I was a kid I always looked up to him. Now having the opportunity to play with him on the same team is a dream. He's a gentleman and has always been a very popular guy in Puerto Rico.
