Zitat des Tages von Asdrubal Cabrera:
We want to win and make a push.
It's the same game. It's baseball. National League, American League. It's baseball. I just come here and try to do my thing. Do my work and help the team to win.
It's hard for a shortstop to play with a guy you don't know in the middle of the season. If you know a guy early in spring training, you're working with them.
I thank those people that thought I had lost the agility to play shortstop, because they gave me more motivation.
I don't want to leave the field for a little thing. I try to be ready every day.
More than anything, you have to respect the game and do things the right way.
I just work every day.
I just come every day, do my stuff before the game, work hard. You work hard, and it pays off.
I would love to stay at one position.
I want to finish my career in Cleveland. They gave me the opportunity to play in the big leagues.
Only facing right-handers and not left-handers is hard for me.
It's hard to come back and play when you've gone through surgery.
I like it, but I think second base is too boring.
I always try to boost everyone's spirits.
They tried to make my dad play professional basketball. But he was married young, too, at 20 years old. He wanted to have a family and said that money was not enough.
I want to be there for the team.
I just try to do my best every at-bat. That's what I plan to do.
I'm excited to wear my country's jersey.
I keep working hard to show people they're wrong.
I'm a baseball player who likes to enjoy himself and leave everything to God. He knows what'll happen.
My dad, he believed in me. My first year was hard for me. I came to the States with myself, and no one came with me.
I try to be a good teammate.
Sure, I get tired. But it's a long season, and you've got to play no matter if you have a little injury. I'm that kind of player.
That's everyone's motivation: to get to the playoffs and win the World Series.
I don't spend the whole off-season in Venezuela. I spend a couple of weeks in Cleveland, go to Florida, take my son to Disney World. But I still have my home, and my whole family lives in Venezuela.
I don't swing with my knees. I swing with my hands.
This game is crazy. You're up and down, up and down. When you feel good, you want to be there every time for the team.
I like to keep my team together.
