The bigger the contract, the bigger the responsibility.

I do miss competing, being out there - the atmosphere, I do miss it.

I'm open to play for anybody that would give me respect, treat me the right way, and actually going to make me feel comfortable.

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

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.

My brother never got an opportunity to throw a pitch, and I didn't want the same thing to happen to another young kid.

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