I'm extremely excited to move forward. Baseball has been great to me. It's been a great experience. But I'm definitely ready to move on. The lifestyle - people don't realize how difficult it is. A lot of things happened to me this off-season. There are things more important in life (than baseball). I decided to step away. |
It was a very difficult off-season for us. It kind of put things in perspective. It's just what the family needs and wants. That has a little bit to do with it, but not all of it. |
Nobody thought I'd get out of 'A' ball. I made it to triple-A. I'm happy with where I've gotten and what I've done, but I'm ready to move on. |
They won't give me another opportunity. The writing was on the wall. When you get that type of feeling, you don't want to hold onto the game too long. |
