Alan Trammel Best Quotations

I have moved on. Doing these interviews really gets me back in the swing of things. After being let go, it's the best thing that could happen to me.

It is easy to second-guess me, but it was my call. I'd like someone to give me a guarantee that David Ortiz wouldn't have done that to Nate Robertson. We're talking about someone who is arguably one of the best players in baseball.

I thought we could chip away (at 4-0) and I thought it was the best chance of staying in the game. It didn't work out.

I would like to get back into managing, or coaching, next year. I think that's in my best interest.

With the options we have right now, Sean remains our best one, even though he's not pitched well and it hasn't been pretty lately. I think he's capable in my mind -- he's pitched some good games -- but I think his confidence right now is a big part of it.

Down the stretch, we've been struggling with our pitching staff, but he's taken the ball. He's been our best pitcher down the stretch when things have been tough. It means a lot, it really does. He continues to go out there like he did in 2003, no excuses, just give me the ball.

You never forget your Major League debut. All the adrenaline and everything. Maybe that is the best way to do it. ... Oh, and the first batter you're facing is Vladimir Guerrero.

In 2003, (Bonderman) was the best guy for the job, to be honest with you. We didn't have guys in the organization at that time that were better.

I just think with the options we have that it's my best option, ... even though he has not pitched well. He has pitched some good games and he's capable in my mind, but it hasn't been real pretty here lately.
