"I just pitch and if it works, it works."

"He's one of the best pitchers I've ever been around --stuffwise, certainly." - Leo Mazzone

"I think the guy (Erik Bedard) is just underappreciated because some people misread his aloofness for not caring. And that's not the case. This guy's got a chance to rank right up there with all the great left-handed pitchers the Orioles have run out there over the years. The guy is outstanding." - Dave Trembley

"I told him, 'I coached the greatest rotations in the history of baseball and you'd fit right in on any of them.'" - Leo Mazzone

"Santana's more polished and has had more sustained success, but Bedard's stuff, when he puts it all together, is better." - Kevin Millar
