Those no-name clowns woulda been very poor no-name clowns without it

Posted by Will Hunting (aka JoeMetz) Aug 4 '10, 09:38

when the minimum salary for your sport is 400k, the difference between being the 23rd man on the bench and the #1 guy in AAA is worth well over 300k a year.

Add in the idea that guys like Brady Anderson...Steve Finley....and the usual non-'star' stars....how much money did they pocket that they wouldn't have?

        sure. but baseball got what it wanted out of having no testing, so their ends mostly justify their means as well... - xi Aug 4, 09:59
