Wow! The league just got a whole lot quicker, didn't it?
And that may sound like a whole lot of money. But factor is the miserable lives, and not to much money they made in all the years leading up it, and it's really not. |

Also factor in that 99% of them will never get there, after forgoing other careers (and lives) in the process.

Its not fair but MLB probably doesnt want to give these guys a ton of service time when they are technically fill ins. |

As long as there's a huge line of guys wanting this gig, the employers will continue to call the tunes to the show.
If that's what you aspire to, hat's off to ya. I couldn't imagine living that life, especially if I had a wife and kids. You spend 10 years making nothing, and never being home, with little hope of ever making a crew. And if you do, you start out making just okay money. To make it all worthwhile ($ wise) you've got to hold on well past your prime. Plus, if reality sets in, and decide enough is enough after eight years, then what? You're 30, with no real world skills. |

If they do not like it, they should have refused to sign it and see what happened. |
