"Bitter"

When former Sea Dogs first baseman/outfielder Brett Roneberg tore his rotator cuff while playing winter ball before the 2005 season, he thought the Red Sox would show a little sympathy

Roneberg, now with the Altoona Curve, told the Altoona Mirror that he thought the Red Sox would still invite him to spring training and give him part of his salary

"I got a phone call that said - 'No, sorry, we decided to release you' - and that was it, the end of my Red Sox career
I wasn't very happy"

Roneberg, 27, took last year off and is now in his fifth season in Double-A
