More Quotes from Bob Melvin:
I don't think anybody remembers who wins the Cactus League. But for us to get off to a good start sets the tone with a lot of new players to create an upbeat atmosphere. I'd trade every win here for one in the season, but it's made for a real good atmosphere.Bob Melvin
We haven't quit, period. Ever. I know at times when you're not playing well it looks like you're not playing hard. . . . We've been playing at this pace the whole year. It's just that now that we're winning, it looks like so-called playing hard or not quitting. But these guys have played hard all year.

When you have a long career, there are going to be down years. He's not happy with the year he had. He expected more and we expected more. I absolutely think he'll be better this year.
