| "After batting .261 and doing whatever the Red Sox asked of him last season -- he played seven different positions, mostly the two middle infield spots and all three outfield slots -- (Damian) Jackson was hoping to return to the Red Sox. And they invited him back, too -- but not at the $625,000 he made last year.
Now, he's back on the market.
"With Boston, I'd rather have heard, 'You did good, but not good enough.'" Jackson said before getting his release papers Sunday. "I was told that (Curt) Schilling wouldn't take less than $12 million and that (Keith) Foulke wouldn't take less than $10.5 million.
"I was like, 'Excuse me if I don't feel sorry for those guys.' Here I am making table scraps. Colorado didn't make me feel like that.""

TABLE SCRAPS? Since when is $625,000 dollars table scraps? Damian Jackson must have a huge set if he is willing to tell the media that $625,000 is table scraps. For a guy with a .246 career batting average, .325 career OBP, and 22 career home runs during an eight year career I say: "Try and find a real job paying $625K!" This guy gives baseball players a bad name.
