How long is nine years "An awfully long time. But I've been striving, praying and hoping I'd get the major league opportunity again. I never put my head down. I held true to my dream. I wanted to go up. If I couldn't, I was going to be the best man I could be at Triple-A."

He got a $195,000 bonus, right. No sympathy here. I'm one of those guys that would give his left you know what for the chance.

Could have had a college education paid for. If he couldn't cut it in school, why is he entitled to more than any other high school graduate. I assume he graduated from high school. Here in Lansing, Michigan, a few years ago we had Marcus Taylor playing Basketball for Michigan State. Since his grade school days, he was billed as the next Magic Johnson. He was good, but not great. Took some bad advice, and left MSU early. Has not had an NBA career. I don't feel sorry for him, either. If you don't take advantage of the opportunities you have, you must live with the results of your actions. Obviously this kid wasn't a sure fire major leager.
