有幾個片語蠻好用的,和大家一起分享。

But Pedroia, who formed a bond with Jeter when they started for last year's American League All-Star team, said that he is looking forward to spending more time peppering Jeter with questions.

"It's awesome to get a chance to pick his brains and see what makes him go," Pedroia said. "It's fun playing against those guys -- they're such great players, and they play the game the right way. I think the fans and the media think it's a big rivalry, but there is respect on both sides."

"That's the bottom line. It's a short tournament, and you have to play well right from the get-go. If you don't, then you're going home."
