On 3/31 DK was released from the STL Cardinals.
He had been in rehab and not thrown from a mound during spring training. I don't want to get into what did or didn't happen, that is between player and organization as to why he never threw one pitch, and sometimes relationships need to end.
I waited until today to post as DK had to fly to NYC to get clearance from his doctors that he could begin working out for teams.
I am sure that most of you understand that this is a business, a very tough one and FWIW, it's even tougher when you work for a team that is in contention year after year for playoffs.
I thank all of the people that have been supportive and those that read about the release when it came out and in the recent milb transactions and wrote to ask if everything was ok.
To those that have made negative comments in private and on a message board (yes I KNOW who you are), DK may be down right now but he's not out!
For parents who one day hope that their sons will play at the highest level there are two reasons why you make it, being at the right place at the right time (luck) and remaining healthy (before you get to the top).
Meanwhile, I stand by what I have been saying for many years, enjoy the moments and don't sweat the small stuff. It's either going to work out or it's not, and you have no control over it other than to make sure that your son remains healthy and happy in his journey.
