Quotes by Alan Trammell
We’re all responsible. I’m the leader, the captain of the ship, and I have to take responsibility.
The guy has power, there's no question about it, ... The peaks and valleys, that's going to be the decision on Carlos Pena. Are we getting to a point where we're getting more consistent? I would say that I'm seeing some signs, sure. That's why I want to see this all the way to the end. I wouldn't want to see a total dropoff myself.
I hope I get to continue with this because there is some unfinished business. I'm going to be in baseball for many more years, whether it is here or not. I'm not done. I'm confident that I can do this.
