Holliday: Don't Worry About Tulowitzki

Matt Holliday, who was traded from the Rockies to the Athletics this offseason, isn't worried about the struggles of shortstop Troy Tulowitzki.

Tulowitzki is batting .227 this spring.

"He's a very, very talented player, and these spring numbers will mean nothing at all during the regular season," Holliday said. "For a young guy, I think Tulo's got a really good head on his shoulders. He's a winner."

Tulowitzki, himself, isn't worried about his numbers heading into the regular season.

"I feel really good," he said. "This is a huge difference for me. Last year if I was hitting .220 instead of .330, I would be in a panic mode, even in spring."

Marquis Holds No Grudge Against Cubs

Pitcher Jason Marquis, who the Cubs traded to the Rockies this offseason, claims that he holds no grudge against his former team.

"I have no regrets, no remorse, no hatred towards anybody," Marquis said.

Marquis, who said he wasn't surprised or upset by the trade, made no secret of being unhappy at times over how he was used during his two seasons under Cubs manager Lou Piniella.

"Am I allowed to show emotion? I think so," he said. "It doesn't mean I was going to give any less if I was coming out of the bullpen or if I wasn't. I was just upset at the decision (in the '07 playoffs). And I don't hold grudges. It was that spur-of-the-moment-type deal.

"We're all human beings. If something doesn't go your way, you have the right to be upset. Sometimes, whether it's the front office, your teammates, the manager, fans, they take it differently, like you're crying over it."
