You can't quantify everything a player does to win games.

If you're going to play at all, you're out to win. Baseball, board games, playing Jeopardy, I hate to lose.

That's how you win - pitching and defense.

I think there's something wrong with me - I like to win in everything I do, regardless of what it is. You want to race down the street, I want to beat you. If we're playing checkers, I want to win. You beat me, it's going to bother me. I just enjoy competition.

Any player that says they don't want to go to an All-Star Game is lying to you. It's something everyone wants to be a part of.

Defense usually doesn't make many headlines, but it goes a long way towards winning baseball games. There are a number of ways to make an impact during the course of a game, and playing solid, sound defense is one of them.
