I just do my work, try to do everything I can. I don't weigh in all offseason. I just try to get better, be in better position, be an athlete.
Tell you the truth, the night before, I don't sleep. It's exciting to be in postseason, you fight one-hitter 62 games, you make it.
We live surrounded by critics, so let them talk, let them criticize me as much as they want. Ultimately, that makes me a better player.
It was one of those things that I set forth as a goal after my surgery. I have been working very hard with the trainers and the team personnel.
People want to help me. They want the best for me. I always say thank you to people when they try that. I never get mad.
I'm going to prove to the fans, going to prove to my teammates, that I can be a better defensive player, offensive player, to win games.

It has not been easy to wake up every single day at 6:30 in the morning to then head to the gym and start a full day of work. But you have to have that kind of dedication if you want to achieve the goals you have set for yourself.
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.
You're going to have some ups and downs, so you have to prepare yourself to be ready. Those down moments come.
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.
When our backs are on the wall, that's the time when we enjoy having fun, relax out there, do our thing, don't get the pressure on, see the results, day by day, game by game.
