People from other teams want to play in St. Louis and they're jealous that we're in St. Louis because the fans are unbelievable. So why would you want to leave a place like St. Louis to go somewhere else and make $3 or $4 more million a year? It's not about the money. I already got my money. It's about winning and that's it. It's about accomplishing my goal and my goal is to try to win. If this organization shifts the other way then I have to go the other way.

I never take things for granted. I always look to help out me teammates, to win and be better.

I believe it is my responsibility to do what I can for children and people with Down syndrome as well as in my native Dominican Republic.

Every year it gets tougher and tougher. Mentally and physically. That's why you need to train and prepare.

Hopefully, at the end of my career, I can look back and say, 'Wow, what a game it was in Game 3 in 2011'.

I don't think there's anything out there I can be afraid of.

If I need to help my team and play a different position for that game because somebody is hurt or they want to give a day off to somebody, I'll do it.
