Baseball is a business. I know the Astros have been very supportive for over one year. They were prepared for him to comeback in 09 and play and he had a set back. Then it was hoped he could go to instructs and work with them. I never saw him on a roster there. This spring, he wasn't ready and with the draft on the horizon and the Astros needing to prepare short season rosters, they needed to make a decision.

I feel sorry for Max. All indications are he is a good kid who has gotten a bad break.

To put this in perspective,how many of our employers would hold a spot for us for over one year?

What's the issue here? Sapp played three seasons and never produced. The Astros did the right thing and stuck with him during his illness. They then made the call--likely the right one--that he won't ever be a productive player. The organization is under no obligation to field a catcher they don't think can play. I feel for Sapp, I really do. He's been through an unimaginable ordeal. But he's not entitled to anything.
