From ESPN:
“I felt really good about playing,” Williams said. “I am my worst critic and I didn’t feel very bad about it. It took me a while to get acclimated. But after a while, I felt very encouraged.”
“I can still play,” said Williams, 40, who was in New York to tape an interview for the YES Network’s “CenterStage” program. He went 0-for-5 with two walks during the WBC.
Williams has yet to ask his agent to contact any big-league teams and would not say if he’d play for a team other than the Yankees. But he did say he’s not interested in playing for an independent league team or working his way back through the minors.
“At this point, I don’t want to be the guy that tries to come back and goes to the independent leagues or the minor leagues for a couple [of] weeks,” Williams said. “I would certainly welcome the opportunity to play in the big leagues at some point, even though the window is very short right now.”
Bernie, if you want to play again you’re going to have work your way back just like everyone else. To think that you can take that much time off and then jump back into it is both asinine and arrogant.

And I was speaking to Bernie directly because, obviously, he reads everything on this blog…
Bernie is done. If only because he’s been out for 2 years. I can’t see taking that much time off and then being able to come back and contribute. If he means he can come back and hangon as a 4th outfielder on some bad team than maybe, but He’s not going to excite anyone.
He was done 2 years ago. He needs to give this a rest. It makes him look bad.
Bernie, my dear friend and certain reader of the blog, I beg of you: stop it.
