If I had a crappy year, it might be an easier decision. But I think I still got a shot. I just need an opportunity. But I don't want to be an Atlantic League lifer.

I like the fact that there are only two shortstops on the roster. Plus I can play all three infield positions.

I'm guessing that was the big reason I got asked. A lot of guys will not be in midseason shape. Speed might be a factor.

It's hard to grasp what's really going on.

There will be a lot of exposure. It's another opportunity to be seen. Last year I had a great year, but I was in Independent ball.

The reality of getting to the big leagues is not very good. But I can still get it done. I still have the passion. But this wouldn't be a bad way to go out.

The pattern I saw in the independent league is they (organizations) take shortstops and pitchers. But how does stealing 38 bags and hitting .283 not get an invite.
