"For as talented as he is, he's probably the most unassuming superstar you've ever been around." - Mike Scioscia
"He has the most plate coverage I've ever seen." - Curt Schilling
"He's a true five-tool guy. He has tremendous raw power to all fields. His defense is above average, but his arm makes him much better. He has fun playing the game." - Neal Huntington
"He's a great teammate. He's a superstar who doesn't act like one." - John Lackey
"He's a humble, dedicated person. You won't ever see this boy on a cellular phone talking to Charles Schwab." - Felipe Alou
"He's a monster talent. He's so sound at the plate he doesn't even foul balls off." - Tony La Russa
"He's a nice young man. I've known him, and his brother, for a long time. They come from a good family." - Pedro Martinez
"He scares me when he comes up there. There's not anywhere I can throw the ball where he can't hit it, and he's trying to hit it right at my head!" - Scott Sauerbeck
"He's just one of those special hitters. I'll bet he's had that same swing since he was six years old." - Bobby Cox
"He's kind of a throwback. You know, no batting gloves. It's good old hardball with him." - Bruce Bochy
"He's so much better than me, it's ridiculous." - Scott Rolen
"He's Superman, and there's not too much Kryptonite in the league." - Rondell White
"I'm always aware of his arm when I'm hitting. When you have guys with those special kinds of arms, they change the game." - Michael Young
"I say this respectfully: he's a freak. He's a very good hitter without a strike zone. He can hit the ball in, hit the ball off the plate away, hit the ball up and go get the ball that's down. He covers the plate, and beyond." - Jamie Moyer
"I wouldn't be surprised to see him win a Triple Crown some year." - Tim Raines
"No record is safe if this man stays healthy." - Felipe Alou
"There are only five things you can do in baseball: hit, hit for power, run, throw and field. Guerrero in nonpareil." - Tim McCarver
"There's no sense in having a report on him.... You have as good a chance to get him out if you throw it right down the middle as if you bounce it in the dirt. He's got just as good a chance to hit a home run if you bounce it or throw it down the middle. I've never seen anything like it. Changing speeds means nothing to him. You don't see him get fooled. He can still be out on his front foot and still hit it out of the ballpark. Most guys do that and they hit it [weakly] somewhere. He can look like he's totally fooled and hit a rocket somewhere." - Tigers manager Jim Leyland
"There's nothing he can't do." - Billy Wagner
"There's other guys, and then there's Vladimir Guerrero." - Bret Boone
"Vladdy has the best hand-eye coordination of any hitter I have ever seen. I have seen him hit 15 home runs that no other player could hit." - Mickey Hatcher
"When he came to our team, our expectations were obviously very, very high. He met every one of them." - Mike Scioscia
"Who do you want me to compare him to? I've never seen anyone do what he does." - Davey Lopes
"You see him in a uniform and right away you want to double whatever he's making." - Felipe Alou
