New spot

Well, after my release from the Toronto Blue Jays I've found a familiar but new home. I'm back in Holland, Rotterdam at that, but have new accomadations, different than the apartment I lived in right by the field in 2007-2008. It's quite nice, 4th floor facing the city from across the river. I signed back to play with Door Neptunus in Rotterdam, glad to be back, but like I've told many people here it's quite biter-sweet. I truely believe if the Jays would have given me another chance at double A I would have thrived. We'll never know. For now I'm back here, and enjoying it, despite shorty being in the states still to finish up her school.
I should see her in about 3-4 weeks, and I can not wait for that day! Until then, working out 5 times a week with Hans Kroon the national teams' personal trainer, and only 1 day off from practices and games. Lotsa baseball!! I've taken some pics of and from my new place and added them below... check it out! Beautiful view, nice 2 bedroom apartment overlooking the city.
Alles goed vanaf nu!

Nice view. Sorry to hear about being released... It really looked like a numbers game this spring.. there were a ton of pitchers coming into camp and only so many spots. I am surprised you didn't find something with another team in North America since there's always someone looking for pitching.

I had my opportunities right away, but I would much rather play here than the indy leagues... it's even more of a meat market there than the minors. You're right, they signed about 20 triple A caliber guys after they traded Halladay... oh well, who knows whats down the road. Thanks for the comments.
