I was so proud I could finish my career in the big leagues with the Braves.

People tell me -- don't you wish you were playing today? ... I said -- yeah for the money, but the talent is not there. It's so diluted, because they've got 30 big league clubs.

Talk to the big man?

He just put the contract on the table and said, 'Would you mind signing?'

In my day, I got paid for what I did last year.

I think it's the owners fault. They sign these guys to multi-year contracts. They're guaranteed. They don't care if they hit .205 or .305. They're gonna get paid,
