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.

If they don't know the Lord, I encourage them to search for and open their hearts and their eyes. If something happens to me tomorrow, I'm going to go to heaven and that's for sure because God's promised to us in the Bible. I want to make sure that those people out there feel the same. At the end of the day as long as I glorify him and those 45,000 people know who I represent out there every time I step out on the field, that's what it's about. It's about representing God.

A lot of people said I could be a good player. I just wanted the opportunity to show it. I just let it happen.

People ask me if I believe how quickly my career has taken off. I just tell them that Jesus Christ is my strength. God has blessed me and I will continue to do my best for him. That is more important than anything I could ever do in baseball.

I know I'm good when I'm hitting the ball the other way - that's Albert Pujols.

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.

To me playing third base and left field and moving all over the place, it doesn't bother me because I still have to grab that bat and hit no matter where I play.
