MLB Network Analyst: "LeBron James Essentially Has Hunter Pence's Contract."

[dallastexas]

and yet LeBron still does more physically in 82 games playing 3-5 times a week more than this cac ever will in his entire career...

number one rule in life is to "work smarter, not harder"

whites stay winnnin tho

 

[Aje]

Just to put things in perspective for you non-–baseball fans: Hunter Pence is a career .285 hitter (7 seasons). A couple of All-Star appearances and took third for rookie of the year. A good player, but nowhere near the top 25 of league.

 

[yseJ]

I wonder if Barry Bonds played in todays era, how much would he be getting ?
like 40m per ?

Athleticism means zero in baseball...

Lies.

Athleticism means zero in baseball...

everyone should pick up a glove since they throw around money like it's nothin....look at the fat nikkas eating in baseball....physicality means nada in that sport. A lot of them nikkas would probably die if they had to play 5 mins of full court basketball.

Lmaooooo, you guys really believe athleticism means nothing in baseball.

 

[King Poetic]

Yes but in between at bats they could be standing around in the outfield for an hour before they do anything...

what about melo he stands around on defense and on offense till the ball touches his hands

A couple of other things to put into perspective:

Hunter Pences career earnings (so far) from MLB: $36 million

LeBron James career earnings (so far) from NBA: $130 million

 

[RugbyCardigan]

LeBron also took less than max to cheat the salary cap, thats the NBA for ya

nikka are you hurt?

When someone takes less it's to benefit their team.

Baseball players get peanut for years though

60 mill

 

[Doctor Wily]

15/16 yr olds out of Latin America becoming millionares yearly.


The Yankees just released a kid they signed for 1.1 million & he never got above single A.


baseball IS FLUSH with "old money".

Bonds did play in this age and was still getting that paper at 40 though.
2005age 40San Francisco Giants$22,000,000
2006age 41San Francisco Giants$19,331,470
2007age 42San Francisco Giants$15,533,970

But I know what you mean, prime Bonds being a free agent in today's league. They would have to throw in ownership %
