 We'll start with Meredith Marokovic's first question for Davey. Hey Davey, thanks for joining us. Just curious as to whether or not you expected to be a part of that 60 player pool that were invited to Yankee Stadium. Hola Davey, gracias por estar aquí con nosotros. Quería preguntarte acerca si esperaba que sabía que te iban a poner dentro de esos 60 jugadores, ese roster que se hizo de 60 jugadores. Sabía que iba a estar dentro de esos 60 para venir aquí a entrenar. Bueno, sí, yo siempre, siempre me mantengo positivo. Sabía que en cualquier momento van a ser la llamada y por eso me mantuve preparando para cuando se diera este momento. Yeah, you know, for me it was about keeping a positive mind, you know, and keep training, keeping myself in shape for that call, you know, because at any time it could have, it could arrive and that's what I did. I just managed to stay training, waiting for a call. Where did you train during the quarantine period? Es donde tuite entrenando durante esa cuarentena. Bueno, tuve entrenando en Bonavos, en donde vivo mi ciudad y me la pasé entrenando con mi hermano, que juega profesional también y, sabe, cuando necesitaba practicar, soltar la agaditancia y eso, iba al play a una hora que no haya tanta gente y ya cuando necesitaba tirar suave, entonces lo hacía ahí mismo en mi casa. Yeah, you know, I was training back home in Bonavos, Dominican Republic and, you know, I happened to have my brother around. He's also a professional, a professional ball player, so I had the opportunity to practice with him. And if I needed to long toss and do more than the regular playing catch, I would go to the field at certain hours where there were not that many people around. And you flew through the system last year for the Yankees. What would you view as your greatest strengths and what are areas that you feel that you need to work on? Y como sabe, tu has tenido la capacidad de pasar por todos los niveles de Liga Menores a una buena velocidad en tu opinión de ti como lanzador, que tu crees que son tus fuerzas como lanzador y cuáles son algunas cosas que te gustaría trabajar más y mejorar. Bueno, principalmente, lo que me gustaría trabajar más, por lo menos lo que estoy trabajando ahora es mi agresividad. Lo estoy trabajando mucho en eso, lo acomodando de cada uno de los picheos, eso prácticamente nunca se deja de trabajar. Y bueno, creo que lo estoy haciendo bien y espero hacer un buen trabajo cuando me toque de nuevo. Y las fortalezas? Bueno, yo me siento muy bien. Una de las fortalezas mía es el spin de mi recta. Sabe, eso es bien importante. También siempre estoy trabajando en eso y en los picheos secundarios. Yeah, you know, I would definitely say, you know, one of my plus is the spin of my fastball. You know, I've been told it's very good and commanding it. It's also a big help of my arsenal. As far as improving, there's many things you can improve, right? But one of the things that I'm working on right now is being more aggressive, being more aggressive in terms of accounts and use my secondary pitches more effectively. Thank you guys. Brendan, you can unmute. You have the next question. Thanks, you see, baby, what was the greatest challenge or challenges to coming out of the bullpen last year? En tu opinión, verdad, tuviste la oportunidad de lanzar del bullpen, o sea, viniendo del bullpen. En tu opinión, ¿cuál tú diría que fue lo más difícil para justarte saliendo del bullpen e entrar a un juego? Bueno, cuando no viene del bullpen, creo que lo que se complica un poco ya cuando uno ha abrido, creo que la preparación, o sea, es una preparación diferente. Y creo que eso es lo único que se podría complicar un poco, pero, o sea, trato de hacer los jute-rapes y de acostumbrarme. Yeah, I would say, you know, being a starter and all the sudden being the bullpen, of course the preparation is different, right? And that's probably the biggest thing that you need to adjust and get used to. The preparations, you have to be ready much, much faster and at any given point, you know. But at the same time, it's about making the adjustments and, you know, I'm able to do that. I'm able to just adjust to whatever is needed. So you didn't have much difficulty at all doing that last year? I mean, so you would say that you didn't have much difficulty doing the bullpen? No, I didn't have much difficulty, because when I was playing, I knew what I was going to say and I was trying to prepare as best as possible. No, I don't think it was difficult at the same time. You know, they would let me know which days I was going to go in, and that kind of helps, you know, knowing ahead that there's a good chance that I'm going to get in the game although I'm coming out of the bullpen. We take the next question from Sweeney Murdy. Sweeney, go ahead. Davie, without a minor league season, what are some of the things you've been able to do that you felt you'd be able to improve on and over these last few months? Have you been able to measure something that you feel you've gotten better on despite not having real game competition? Davie, understanding that there's no smaller league season and that you don't have that opportunity to improve on certain things that give you, to participate in a smaller league season, understanding that, understanding where you were during the spring training to this day, what are some of the things that you think have improved in this time? Well, in this time, my mentality has improved a lot. I've improved a lot in the field and I've improved a lot in the field, too. I mean, I tried to put 100% of my part in that. We've improved a lot on how to treat a striker. Look at the movements he makes with each swing, with all that. I think I've learned a lot about that. You know, one of the things that I can pinpoint, Sweeney, is the ability to repatter, you know, understand what the hitters are trying to do just from being around this kind of baseball, this level of baseball and having a strong mind, you know, working on your mindset and not only on the field, but off the field, understanding what it takes. Definitely some of the things that I think have been able to improve. Thank you. Pete Caldera, you have the next question. Go ahead. David, just curious what your confidence level and your thoughts are as you try to go about barbing a role for yourself on this 2020 Major League team? I mean, in your opinion and what the training time is going to be, how do you try to win a position in this 2020 Major League team? Well, I try to do a good job, you know. I get along well with all of my teammates, even though I understand that there is a competition, I try to be positive, always being positive, doing a good job in what I can, controlling what I can control and doing what God wants. You know, for me, it's about doing your job, you know, going out there and doing the best you can, performing, understanding what that, you know, although it's a competition, you know, you also have really good teammates around you, you know, and you balance that, you try to execute, to do the job, to the best of your abilities, control what you can control on the field, and other than that, you know, it's basically in God's hands, you know, I just focus on my job and try to execute as best as possible. Ron Blum, welcome back. Go ahead, unmute. Can you hear me now? Mm-hmm. David, would you say without a minor league season this year, does it set your back your chances to make it into the major leagues on a regular basis this year, or can you do enough work on the side to still progress the same amount? David, in your opinion, understanding that there won't be a minor league season, do you think that's going to set you back, do you think that's going to set your development as a striker, or do you think that all the work and all the preparation you're doing will still help you to make another step towards your goal? Well, at least I don't think I'm going to back off since I'm here and they gave me the opportunity to be here and to show what I can do here. And that's what I think, to try to execute what you can execute. Well, I don't think I'm going to back off. You know, I don't think it's going to hold me back, but it prevents me from taking strides to progress on my career. I mean, if you look at the fact, you know, I'm here today and I'm very thankful for that opportunity to be here and be in this camp and have an opportunity to showcase what I can do on the field, you know, to meet about, like I said before, you know, just focus on the job and take advantage of this opportunity that I have right in front of me. Thank you. Take a few more, James Wagner. Floor is yours. Well, I hope you're doing well. I hope you're in the family are well. I'm just curious, was it ever a point, ever a discussion or consideration not to play this year, given the health risks? And was it ever, like what factor does, you know, that you're at the beginning of your career, you obviously wouldn't impress the team. And obviously, like, you know, making the majors is a substantial amount of money as well, too. Were any of those six factors at all in deciding what this year? Thank you for being here. I hope you're doing well, family, too. Understanding everything that's going on right now with the virus problem at some point, you thought that maybe you weren't going to play, that you weren't going to participate in this season. There are many factors that can influence your decision, but was there anything specific or did you have any doubts in yourself when you already understood that you were going to play and that maybe you weren't going to participate? Well, no. When I knew that I was going to be able to play, I tried to do as best as I could in my practice where I was living, in Dominicana, and I was waiting for them to call me here. I'm always positive. Well, I never doubted that I wasn't going to play. I was keeping up with the news and all that. At least I had the thought that at some point I was going to be able to play, that I was going to be able to play all the rest of the year. And thank God, we're here now. You know, it's one of the reasons why I wanted to keep in shape and keep practicing as much as I could, because I felt that there was a really good chance on playing. And then once I knew that it was going to be, it was going to become a reality that we were going to have a chance to have a season. It was a matter of just waiting, waiting for an invitation to come here and join the group here. That's why I wanted to just keep on practicing and staying in shape, just so that if that call was ever to come, that I'll be ready. In my head, I was always positive and encouraged that that was going to happen. You know, and it did happen, you know, and here we are. We'll take a final question from Marley. Marley Rivera, go ahead. Thank you, Jason. Gracias, David. Saludos. ¿Cómo estás? Espero que estés muy bien. Saludos. Primero que nada, David. Muchos de los lanzadores que ya lanzaron hablaron del hecho de que yo se sentían un poquito más adelantados que los bateadores. O sea, es que su ritmo estaba bastante mucho mejor. ¿Cómo te sentiste tú en la Lumita cuando lanzaste esa única entrada y tú entiendes que tú puedes contribuir inmediatamente al equipo? Bueno, entiendo, entiendo que sí. Me siento muy bien, gracias a Dios. Me siento controlando bien los bateadores, que eso es algo bien importante. Me siento tirando lo picheo en la zona, donde quiero. O sea, hay algunos dificultados a veces con lo picheo, pero es algo normal. Pero me siento bien. Creo que sí puedo contribuir con el equipo. Y por último, David, obviamente el hecho de que tienes que bregar, sin estar con fanáticos, ¿verdad? ¿Cómo lo sentiste jugar sin fanáticos? ¿Y cómo será esta temporada de 60 juegos? Bueno, como te digo, a veces con fanáticos no se emociona más. Es más adrenalina. Es mucho adrenalina, pero me siento bien. Trato de acostumbrarme a lo que hay y me siento bien así. Eso es lo que tenemos por ahora. Gracias.
