Alan Trammell Quotations

Two hundred would be a nice number for him.

I think he's solid. He's gotten himself to the point that he can play. He's not flashy, but that's OK. He makes the plays. And with the way he works, he's going to get better.

If we'd have swept them, I don't think we'd be going into Boston, or Chicago, or Cleveland any different.

It's not easy right now, ... My stomach, I've got a knot. I don't like it at all. I am in charge so it is my responsibility. It bothers me. I'd love it to stop as quick as it possibly could.

It sounds like an excuse, ... but it's a fact that this club, the way that we had set it up, for the most part has not been able to be out there the way we would've liked. We thought we were probably going to win a few games. And hey, who says we won't? But right from the get-go, it's been one thing after another.

I thought that we made that play at first on Erstad's at-bat, but the umpire said we missed the bag.

We didn't score any runs. We had opportunities to score runs and we didn't do it. That was it.

We don't have the finished product yet, we have a learning 21-year-old. But we like what we have. I give him credit, going through what he went through last season, getting on-the-job training. He handled himself well under the circumstances.

We haven't been able to use them, so we've had to go with other players, ... At this point, it's caught up to us.

We come right out of the chute and don't play well. It was very sloppy.
