What a lousy time to tell these guys they're released~Christmas week. I hope they all find success with another team, or some other line of work. Going to especially miss Matt Fields- couldn't find a kinder, more wonderful guy.
ReplyDeleteNever heard a bad word about Fields. In fact, never heard anything but great words about what a nice guy he was.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Fields. He was a personal favorite of mine. Great player, great person. He will be greatly missed in the organization and a great addition to any team that signs him. Wish him lots of luck.
ReplyDeleteMike Folli has signed with the Atlanta Braves.
