In his last couple of years here, he really matured as a pitcher. The success he had in that 01' World Series game was huge. It catapulted him to bigger and better things.
More Quotes from Bob Melvin:
Trace had a little something going on and I didn't want to mess with it yesterday. There are certain guys that you just can't lose and Trace would be one of those guys.Bob Melvin
Unbelievable. We were getting fluids in him. He was struggling and then he makes that play. So not only was it an offensive and defensive performance, he gutted it out, too, because he was scuffling.
Bob Melvin
This is a guy who just hasn't been right yet, and mentally to put the kind of pressure we're putting on him every time he goes out there and not getting results, he needs to go down there and pitch a little bit without the pressure of coming into a big league game and always having to have results. He needs to go down there and take some pressure off himself, because he's a talented guy who's going to pitch for the Diamondbacks for a while.
Bob Melvin
He passed a lot of guys by. I tried to impress upon him that he's got to feel good about that. Having said that, you are where you are, you feel like you've made it and then you have that conversation, I'm sure it's a disappointment.
Bob Melvin
I'd hate to think what the future would be like without him right now. I'm a big Luis Gonzalez fan and I'm glad that we have him under contract for next year and an option for the year after that because I think he's still going to be a big part of this thing.
Bob Melvin
He got off to a tough start. And having that big contract, pitching at home, can sometimes weigh on you. I don't think he'd admit that, but you really want to start things right, especially being back home, with a new team. And that didn't happen for him.
