I work to bring everything together, but sometimes you start slow and sometimes you start quick. Every player is different. I know I'm going to be prepared to start fast.

It's quick work. Everybody should change in their system because it's quick work and you're ready to go. It's been very good so far.

Nobody likes to get booed. Maybe [it was] the fact they don't know nothing about me or they didn't believe I could play in the [American League]. But I know what I can do.

I never got booed before and I didn't know how to deal with that. I don't have anything to prove.

We hit hard. I thought Manny was going to be all right because he's a big man. I'm so skinny.

He'd kick the pitcher's (butt). He'd do it. No (fooling) around, bro.
