I've been playing on turf like that. I just didn't read that ball very good.

Wow, it was a long season. I played in probably 80 games. But it works for me because I come over here in shape. I don't get tired at all. I'm still in shape.

I feel like I?m a big-league guy right now. It?s different from last year. I knew I had to do too many things to be ready for the big leagues.

I went back to my country, and I did very good. That's what I wanted. I was trying to hit the ball the other way. That worked for me. I want to do the same here.
