Bonds offered minor league contract

[Hank_Scorpio]

Washington Wild Things offer Bonds $1200/month contract


Could have gone on the Hot Stove thread, but probably worth a thread of its own.

Would $1200/month be enough for his "supplements"?

 

[markvid]

I hope he signs just to shove it up their asses.

 

[outofplace]

Nice stunt. Horrible quality of baseball in that league, but the Wild Things package it well and it's a really nice ballpark.

 

[broadway joe]

Shove it up their asses? They'd be thrilled if he signed it and brought them a little publicity.

 

[dsg155]

It's about the only place he'll get some playing time

 

[BYH]

Is there anything more tired than these publicity stunts?

Barry Bonds.

 

[BYH]

Touche.

They'd **** their pants and not know what to do if he did.
Amateurs trying to play big leaguers.

Um, I think they'd let him play and make a killing off of him

Independent league baseball, fraudtastic.

Ok, play how? Does the Frontier League use a DH?

Does it ****in matter?
Did the NL have a DH last year? It is independant ****in baseball.
This is a stupid arguement since it will never ever happen

 

[MTM]

Is there anything more tired than these publicity stunts?

I agree. Another indy team made an offer to A-Rod.
Why does this crap get reported?
I made an offer to Erin Andrews to be my girlfriend and nobody reported it. That's as likely to happen as one of these team actually signing a real player.

The Toledo Mud Hens aren't an indie team; they're the Tigers' Triple-A squad. Anyone know if the Wild Things are a Veeck team?

My mistake. I knew it was a minor league team that has no chance of actually signing Rodriguez, so I assumed it was an indy.

And there was more behind the Mud Hen offer too. I'm forgetting some of the details, but Bor-Ass or someone had mentioned the Hens somewhere along the line and they did the offer in response to that.

 

[HandsomeHarley]

That minor league offer may be looking pretty sweet to ol' Barry right about now.

Especially since Major League Baseball doesn't have a team called the Oakland Raiders.

First off, unless they've changed the rules, Bonds can't play in the FL because of its age limit.

Secondly, as a resident of a FL town, let me second outofplace's statement: The Frontier League product sucks ass.
