I know he didn't make megabucks in the majors, but surely he had some endorsement deals over the years to pad that income. And I would hope that he didn't MC Hammer all of his money away. How much do you think he makes in the minors? He could coach, take a TV job on the MLB Network, write a book, become a motivational speaker, etc. All of those would pay more than what he's making now I'd imagine. -
Besides, it's not like he's banking big bucks with these minor league deals, is he?
-
LOL. What kind of moron would think that moving on with his life means he'd have to get up at 7am to drive an hour to work to sit at a desk making $50K in some lame job like one of us? Even if he HAD to work for monetary reasons there are many things he could do to make more money doing something he theoretically would enjoy assuming his happiness extends past the mound.

I wouldn't give up right away, but after 6 years of not being able to come anywhwere close to what I once had I hope I would be able to walk away and move on to the next chapter of my life. As far as the Rickey Henderson comparison that someone else made, I thought that was sad. Does he not have a life outside of baseball? I know a very good jazz drummer (not famous, but he made money playing) who had to quit because of medical reasons. Sure he's diappointed but he's not fighting it. He's more than just a drummer and he's successful with his life after music.
-
That's my opinion on what he should do. Where did I say he shouldn't be allowed to play anymore?
-
All he's been doing for the past 6 years is rehabbing. He's not playing baseball. I missed the part where I decided what he's doing with his life. Brilliant retort, my man. Don't agree with Nuts&Gum and you're a meatball. God, I love this guy. This site would implode without his brilliance.
-
The [expletive]? Why should he? Because he can't stay healthy and keeps ending up under the knife. When is it enough? He's never going to pitch in the majors again. He has plenty of money. Go live your life, the dream is over.

When is he going to give up? http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseball/cubs/chi-excubs-pitcher-prior-signs-with-red-sox-20120502,0,3293658.story NOTE: I checked several forums before posting this and didn't see it anywhere.

Hargrove is a Packer now. lol

For a while last night I was wondering if Luol Deng was even playing. If Lucas isn't hitting his shot, there's no reason for him to be on the floor. We don't run an offense when he is at the point. If he was half as good as he thinks he is, we wouldn't even need DRose. And last night was another one of the many nights were Boozer acted like a bullfighter on the defensive end of the court. God, I hate him.
-
If a guy named Rizzo Smash says it, it must be true.
-
I was hoping that the DRose injury was all just a bad nightmare but I'm not waking up from it.
-
Alshon Jeffrey wasn't a reach.
-
Was just coming to post that here. Season is over. Edit: Was referring to this tweet. TNT courtside camera picked up Derrick Rose telling Bulls trainer, "I felt something pop." Otherwise, still awaiting medical report at UC.
-
I almost never root for another player to get injured, but I hope LeBron tears his ACL now.
-
Are you [expletive] kidding me? I want to puke right now.
-
You must be new to the Internet.
-
He's gritty.
-
Should have gone DeCastro or Reiff.
-
Per Adam Schefter: Minnesota is trading No. 3 pick Cleveland. More ahead on ESPN.
-
That's very underwhelming.
-
Why draft a backup LB in the first round when we could draft a starting DE?
-
burlington has a cool bridge I like their coat factory.
-
What kind of Poindexter do we have running this team? http://www.trbimg.com/img-4f989749/turbine/ct-spt-0426-bowen-bears-nfl-draft--20120425/400/16x9
