“I have always loved and appreciated the Giants organization, my Giants teammates, and the fans of San Francisco.”
“The fan support was the greatest. It's everything.”
“You've got keep your head up, keep fighting, and do the best you can.”
“I am not taking anything for granted.”
“You learn from the things that happen in your career. You get up and down. You never give up. All the things that happened in my career, thank God it happened early rather than late in my career.”
“I don't focus on the scale. I focus on doing my job. The team staff and the program I've been working on, they've been touching on that, but I don't focus on the scale.”
“When you're from another country, you want to spend time with your family. All your family can't come here. All your friends can't come here. You spend so much time here, you want to go there, too.”
“What really matters is who you are when you step on the field, and I will let my bat and my glove speak for themselves.”
“The taps with the bat on the spikes are one for my grandmother, one for my grandfather, one for my little sister. Then the one on the helmet is showing faith in God that I can do it.”
“I trust no one - that microphone, that book.”
“The people that I surround myself with now and my family, they are the key to my success.”
“If I meant that I missed Bochy and Hunter, it's the guys I'd been joking around with most. Hunter is like my brother, and Bochy is like my dad. But at the end of the day, I missed all the guys.”
“If it's going to go my way, it's going to go my way. I have to keep working hard.”
“I don't worry about numbers. I worry about wins. You can see all the years that my numbers went down and how many championships I've got. That's what I worry about.”
“I just want to do the best things I can do on the field, do the things I know how to in baseball, have fun.”
“I have to prove everything. Especially when you're coming from an off year after the injuries, and you come back, and you have to prove a lot of things to the fans, to the team, to your teammates, to the sport. You have to prove a lot of things out there on the field.”
“I don't try to lose weight. I don't try to do nothing. I just try to put in my work, feel better, the things that I can do in the field to be better are better, so that's what I do.”
“I feel good not just physically but as a person because I know I accomplished my goal, which everybody said I couldn't do in Venezuela.”
“Venezuelan baseball is more aggressive, more passionate, more exciting. The fans are not the same as in your native country.”
“I wanted to come back with the team I grew up with.”
