I believe I have a responsibility that goes along with the money I make. I can help a lot of people.

Whether you like it or not, the last few years I'd be the first one to tell you I haven't been the Pedro Martinez that I'm used to being.

I love my teammates, and I'll do anything for them.

When I go to the plate, I think about putting the ball in play. It's important to get on base and get some walks, but I don't go to the plate thinking of walking.

None of the teams that actually probably were offering me a job from the getgo, actually in spring training, are in the playoffs right now.

If the shortstop makes an error, I am responsible. I let the batter hit the ball.

Baseball is a game of the soul.
