Frustrating

I never thought I'd see the day where I'd say this. I want out of my current situation. It's been said many times that baseball is baseball, you signed the deal now go out and play. I've said that many times myself. But once your in the position, it's extremely frustrating. We were starting to look really good too. The locker room was getting really tight, even to the point that Srnka was accepted as one of the guys for awhile. That feel good locker room is long gone now however.

Our GM is gone. I'm up in the air about how I feel about that. While there were things he did that I really liked, there were so many things that I wanted to strangle him for. He ultimately made the call for me to play SS, which, to be honest isn't sitting very well for me anymore. I thought it was a temporary thing for me, but I'm splitting time between CF and SS and it's really hard to get into a rythym. I guess it hasn't effected me too much however as I'm still one of the top batters in the league. It's just aggravating. I know it's not a good thing to do, and probably not something I should post in my blog, but the other night on the plane I made a list of which teams I'd most like to play on. Which is a little awkward, especially since I'm under contract for another full season. But anyway, here it is:

10) Elmira- They've improved, but those 7 straight titles still loom over them. I want to go somewhere that I'm going to help build something. I'm glad I never bothered with them when I came into the league.

9) Providence- A sinking ship that was never really afloat in my books.

8) Halifax- They've done some restructuring, but that team is still a financial mess waiting to happen. I do think I'd be able to step in and really help them out however.

7) Buffalo- No, just, no.

6) Allentown- That color purple? Could you really see me in purple? Didn't think so. Never going to happen.

5) New York- I love the city of New York, but I'm not sold on their GM, their current team, or their uniforms. The city however, would be a good fit for me.

4) Toronto- They kind of have their own thing going there. I like the team and GM, but just can't see myself playing there.

3) Hartford- They're not a dynasty yet so I'd be happy helping their cause. Unfortunately Chalmers is there and I don't think they are in any hurry to replace him.

2) Bridgeport- They like defense, I'm as good as they come. They need hitting, I'm batting over .300. Rumor has it that Gofenberg is leaving after the season. To me it seems like a perfect fit. I like their attitude, I like their unis, I like that they are building their history, I like the farm system they have set up. I like 'em a lot.

1) Boston- Ironic huh? Yeah, I love Boston and the fans. I like the following I have here. It's just that things need to change in order for me to be able to stay. Hopefully the new GM breathes new life into this organization. But right now things just need to change.
