Canseco to hit...AND PITCH...in the GBL

[soccer10k]

You can't make this stuff up. Absolutely classic. He signed a contract with the San Diego Surf Dawgs (yes, that's right, Dawgs) of the independent Golden Baseball League.

"We strive to provide a high quality entertainment product, and Jose will undoubtedly be entertaining for our fans," GBL president Amit Patel said in a statement.

 

I've been laughing for the past 5 minutes about this.

 

Canseco will make $2500 per month. Is that even enough to pay for his steroids?

 

There are approximately 430295 jokes that can be made about this.

LOL, I make more than Jose Canseco! :lol:

[Wheelimus]

No doubt hoping to hit well and get a major league team to take a flyer on him.

 

Don't hold your breath Jose. Though, I could see a team that's already out of it and who, unlike the Cubs, still don't have 30K showing up every game, giving him a roster spot to just draw in fans. Like the Pirates or Royals I suppose.

 

Also, don't miss that they're also doing a licensing agreement for apparel, that's where he'll make a lot more than 2500K.

Is there any drug testing in the independent league?

Saw Jose about 3-4 months ago. Dude's still ripped.

Over/ under on how long this lasts. I say 2 weeks before he's cut. How 'bout everyone else?

Don't let his steroid product body fool you. I bet he blows out his knee trotting to first base after a hit by pitch.

For a moment this post really bugged me...braggart!!

 

Then I realized that I do, too! :oops:

The article said he going to be a DH and he is also going to pitch. He throws a knuckle ball and I think if he has any success pitching, some ML team will give him a try. I would love to see him pitch to Bonds! :lol:

By knuckleball, I think they mean when he's gonna pitch his arm will dislocate itself and make it across the plate thus making it a "knuckle" ball.
