“I just don’t see a future here for me,” Magee said. “I’ve been here three years now and it seems like it’s always something that they have this idea that I’m the fourth outfielder. If that’s the way they feel about me, cool, but I’d like to go somewhere else. I should be given that opportunity to play every day. It’s not like we’re in a race or anything.”
Wendell Magee said that. I cut the quote out of a Rotowire comment. I think it means that Magee thinks he should play because the Tigers aren’t very good. Magee isn’t all that good, but this attitude is a problem. I don’t think Shane Halter, when he was sulking, was saying he should play because the team sucked. I think he said the team sucked because he wasn’t playing. He was wrong, but it doesn’t seem that should matter much.
