Trammell, nicknamed "Tram", played his entire career with the Tigers, highlighted by a World Series championship in 1984 and an American League East division championship in 1987.

I think it's just the losing, the day in and day out, ... It's probably a little too much for us to overcome.
aggressive batting collapsing taller
He's a little taller (in his batting stance), a little more aggressive to the ball. He's not collapsing on his backside. His swing's more level.
watching
He's a keeper. We'll be watching him for years.
anybody far few given hard record starts track
His track record has been pretty good. Given a chance, he's been able to contribute. The hard part is it is so few and far between at-bats, and like anybody else, he starts pressing.
friday full ready session sharp side
He's going to need at least one full side session to get him sharp enough to pitch, so if that comes Friday or Saturday, he's not going to be ready for this weekend,
bright spot strong
He's a strong young man. Really, he was the only bright spot offensively.
count deeper game hopefully limited next pitch time
Hopefully we can get his pitch count up so he can go deeper into the game the next time out. He'll be limited the first time out, though. We can't let him go 100 pitches.
missing pitch
When they get a pitch to hit, ... they're not missing it.
proud root ties whether
He has ties with the Tigers. He was there when I signed. Whether I'm there or not, I'll always be a Tiger, and I'll always root for the Tigers, because I'm a part of their history, and I'm proud of that.
good pitching talking
He had a good curveball. Talking with the Toledo staff, when he's pitching well, that's something he has to have.
cramp dugout good later rid
He had a cramp and just couldn't get rid of it. He was in the dugout later in the game, so that was a good sign.
ball gets jump position seem
He doesn't seem to panic. He gets a jump on the ball and then is in the right position to make his leap.
felt warming
He felt it warming up a little bit, but thought it was nothing,
borderline fell swung
He fell behind, and we swung at a borderline pitch.
