Justin Upton is looking for a bounce-back season and is motivated after hearing his name come up in trade talks. "I was upset about it to be honest with you," Upton said of the trade talk. "But I have to move on. Moving forward, I've got to leave that behind me. That's not going to be an issue. I'm not going to hold any grudges. Obviously I was surprised, but at the same time it happens to people every year, so you just have to deal with it and see what happens." Upton said there was little, if any, contact from the D-backs front office when the trade rumors first surfaced, but eventually Kevin Towers talked with him after announcing that Upton was staying put. "I hope so," Upton said when asked if 2011 was the year he would reach the heights predicted for him. "All you can do is prepare yourself for that big year. Hopefully this is the year the team wins and I put up some better numbers."
