And my comment was just a joke, kind of fake covering up the mistake. But I assumed most people would catch that.

“Dear Pirates, thanks so much for the opportunity, I was surprised as the fans were. Thanks again for that multi-year contract despite doing nothing to earn it. Nothing teaches a young player more about work and reward than getting paid for doing nada. Gotta love me being picked off in extra innings, probably made the game last another six innings there! Long games are exciting! Also, gotta love me being picked off again later and boy, you see that bunt! All a batter has to do is hit it in any direction but where I did, haha.. See me being caught stealing by twenty feet, that’s that blinding speed of mine! Don’t worry, my excuse machine will say it was a hit and run..wink, wink.

Boy, really got alot of value out of being the third best prospect in the Yankees organization. Despite not doing anything, I still hear sportscasters and sports radio constantly clamoring for me..boy, whatever Pirate marketing says, people believe. I am the core! What people never caught on to is being one of the best prospects in the Yankees farm system is sort of like winning Miss Murrysville and people thinking your the nest Miss America. Yankees trade their prospects for proven guys, they probably wouldn’t even have a farm system except to suck other teams into trades for their “prospects”. Who was their last home grown guy..Jeter, that was like 15 years ago. Well, got a go, thanks for all the fish!”
