If I wanted to pitch that bad, I probably would. But I don't think I'm in that stage.

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

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

I enjoy every bit of baseball I can get.

I keep active because I have not announced my retirement, because that is something that takes time and you have to plan it. Plus, it is something that the Dominican people expected.

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.

Before, if I wasn't in baseball, I wanted to become a doctor.
