Drafted by the Dodgers, played 2 years of A ball, moved up to AAA, then shuffled down to AA. Traded to Oakland during the off-season of 2005-2006, where I managed to make their pro roster. Batted pretty low, just over .200, but was leading the league in stolen bases. I get the call, you're going down to AAA, no problem, I need to work on my hitting anyhow... next day, I get the call, I think, ya they must miss my speed in the bigs... nope, outright released... sons a bit....

Bastards didn't even pay me the money they owed me for the rest of the year!

Ouch, that hurts. You'd think you'd still be getting paid (over time at least, if not in one chunk). Still....I wouldn't worry. I had a pitcher outright not get drafted. I sat around for two years before the Padres signed me as a free agent. That was during the off-season though...I wonder if you can get signed mid-season?
