CHRIS DICKERSON IS A FREE AGENT... JUST SAYIN'

Don't get excited if you're a Chris Dickerson fan, because the likelihood of him coming back to the Yankees is slim... but Chris Dickerson is now a free agent.

According to the Baltimore Sun, "...Chris Dickerson and infielder Dan Johnson, who were taken off the Orioles' 40-man roster Thursday and outrighted to Triple-A Norfolk, have to decided to become free agents instead of accepting the assignments."

We like Chris Dickerson here at Bleeding Yankee Blue.  We interviewed him this past year (EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: CHRIS DICKERSON)and the piece was well received by BYB readers, even though at the time he was an Oriole.

There was a great nugget in the interview when ask him about believing in yourself.  Check out this exchange:

BYB: If there is one thing you can tell kids out there who want to make it to the pros, but are frustrated as they try and climb the ladder?

Chris Dickerson:  Believing in your abilities and giving a FULL commitment to each task is very important. One of my biggest things in the off season is to make visits to my High School baseball team and make sure they know the importance of putting forth their best effort, both in the classroom and on the field.

Anyway... we wish Dickerson well.  He's a good dude and he gives his all whenever he's out there... you can't ask for anything better than that! Good luck Chris!
