Disagree.Locker should have played baseball, that being said no turning back. It seems if he can stay health, a solid season seems possible. He had some big games last year.
Either way it will be interesting.
Not one $2 million player on that list let alone a $12 million.Angels gave him 250k as a 10th rounder...His odds were much better than 5%..
Plenty of accolades to warrant considering baseball. Having a 15 yr baseball career could much more lucrative than baseball. Doesn't matter since he chose football, but he was no bum when it came to baseball.
