I don't, hes making half a million dollars to play a sport that I love and that i'd play in a heartbeat if I could.

I don't feel bad one bit, and he wanted to negotiate a one-way contract, this is the price you pay. I'm sure hes happy too.

I feel sorry for him in the same sense that I feel sorry for Michael Crabtree slipping in the NFL draft and will only get 15 million guaranteed instead of 20.

Could have been worse, he could have been drafted by Oakland.

That's like Pittsburgh Pirates minor league pitcher Ian Snell. He was sent down to AAA and has dominated hitters and now wants to remain in AAA rather than be re-called by the Pirates.

That's so awesome as long as nobody would rather stay in Durham or Norfolk.
