He wouldn't have been able to get a Miggy deal in Cleveland. That's what we're talking about here.

Lmaooooo, you guys really believe athleticism means nothing in baseball.
You dont need athleticism to be a great hitter....IM not saying it doesnt hurt at certain positions but alot of these guys are out of shape and couldnt excel in any other sport but baseball...

I'l let your dap ratio speak for itself..
There seems to be a lot of fat guys in football who just in simple terms, push each around.
No position has predominantly fat players in baseball besides first base. And I doubt most people can stretch out for balls like they do.
If I was getting paid nba money I wouldn't complain about mlb money, either way they gt paid in the top 98% of this country
catchers,pitchers esp relief pitchers and lets be reality alot of corner outfielders arent the fastest and most in shape guys on the planet...

Have a good day my friend.
Once, Buss told Bryant he believed he was worth $60 million to $70 million a year to the Lakers.

I know we all love to talk about that baseball money, especially when comparing it to playing in the NFL. The low long term health impact, coupled with the guaranteed contracts and the ability to find a long life as a specialist are some huge advantages to pursuing a baseball career over football.
But the NBA versus the MLB is where our paths diverge on the topic.
The only pluses that playing baseball have over playing basketball professionally are the deep farm systems that allow you a longer opportunity to develop and make money, and the available jobs (450 in the NBA compared to 750 in the MLB). Baseball is actually the only major league sport with a > 2% chance of making it to the big leagues.
Otherwise, NBA players have similar career lengths to baseball (4.8 years compared to 5.6 for baseball), with the highest average annual salary in all of sports, and has just as low long term health impacts as baseball, potentially even lower. They also enjoy guaranteed contracts.
The average salary of an NBA player is up to $5.15 MILLION per season. The MLB is second at $3.2 Million. The average career earnings of a NBA player are $24.7 Million. The MLB is second at $17.9 Million.
In short it will be harder to find a job in basketball than in baseball, but if you are good enough to play either, basketball is the smartest sport to play professionally in the USA.
