Marlins, Begging for Any Good PR, Sign Adam Greenberg

Think he qualifies for the MLB lifetime pension.

Arguably, Major League Baseball (“MLB”) offers one of the best pension and healthcare programs in all of sports. Players vest in their pensions after 43 days on the active roster and just one day qualifies a player for lifetime healthcare. Playing isn’t even a requirement, benchwarmers may qualify for benefits as well. After 43 days, players qualify for the minimum benefit of $34,000 per year and those with 10 years of service receive a pension of approximately $100,000 annually.

When did David Samson become the general manager?

Apparently 7 years ago

or hit by the pitch. *ducks*

They should intentionally walk him.

Joe Frisaro @JoeFrisaro
Ozzie may let Greenberg start in left field and get one full inning. Leadoff in bottom of first on Tuesday #Marlins #Mets

Because they have so many other great options to replace him...

[emkayseven]

He gon get hit by a knuckleball

People act like its some awesome sports story while 150 guys in AAA who are better than him continue to never get a shot.

I think he should be embarrassed. When I first heard about the campaign, I figured he had nothing to do with it and would want nothing to do with it.

This. Maybe it's because I'm just cranky about our fo/ownership, but this makes me dislike them even more.

Fuck this.

[Chewford]

I agree with Fritz. And Hugg, but mostly Fritz.

I love the story. Screw the fact it's for PR, love the idea of this.

Although the Cubs should've been the ones to do it.

[Anonymous]

Yea, I like the idea, too.

[Party]

The Marlins will manage to blow this somehow. They'll probably have Valerio de los Santos throw out the first pitch and no one in marketing will make the connection.

got heem

[Ramp]

I feel like they should just let him play the entire game instead of one at bat.

Also, while I think it's stupid he's getting this "second chance", I hope Dickey hangs one to him and he crushes it

Yeah, that's what was going through my mind when I read the story. Just throw a big meatball up there.

Adam Greenberg again: "sometimes life throws you curveballs; mine threw me a fastball at 92 and hit me in the head.""

Seriously dude, stop bitching. You're gonna get your one at-bat. Shut the fuck up.
