Aj brown signs with padres

[gravedigger]

Hmmm

[starkvegasdawg]

Does that mean he just told Bucky thanks for the sweet ride, I'll be cruising the beach in it?

[stalkingpoon]

His dad wants him to play baseball.

[FISHDAWG]

win the day .... lose the month**

[gravedigger]

Good question.

[Ifyouonlyknew]

It's an Anthony Alford type deal. He's still playing football but he'll play summer league baseball with the Padres.

And that usually doesn't work out. You can't serve two masters unless you are Bo Jackson.

[ShotgunDawg]

He's not going to play baseball. The Padres just gave him money to reserve his rights for future years in case football doesn't work out. He'll be playing football at OM

[msstate7]

Or prime time

[Jacksondevildog]

He can play professional baseball and college football. I'm not being an ass, but I don't know why some on here in 2016 don't understand that. He will play for them in the summer once school is out. Anthony Alford did this for them recently.

[msstate7]

Any word on how much?

Well it's probably cause 99% of players that sign pro ball don't also play college football. So everyone assumes he's in the 99% till told otherwise.

[Jacksondevildog]

AJ brown's future is in the NFL, Not MLB. He knows this, but I don't blame him for taking the cash.

[Dawg61]

I'll believe AJ's dumbass will come back to Oxford, Mississippi in the fall after spending the summer in California when I see it happen. He gone!

[Dawg-gone-dawgs]

ordinarily I wouldnt agree with you but considering the shit storm going on up there you may be right. He would be a damn fool to stay.

[msstate7]

Only way I see that happening is if om doesn't keep up the promised payments once he's enrolled. Even then, aj may transfer rather than drop football

[Homedawg]

He won't be spending the summer in California. He will be in rookie ball, and he will be in Oxford in the falls. Whatever the Padres spent on him it was too much. He's not a great baseball player.

[msstate7]

I just don't understand it from the Padres' perspective. Why not draft and use that money on a college player that has a little potential rather than a kid that wants to play football?

[msstate7]

Off topic, but this reminded me of manziel being drafted. Wonder if that offer from an MLB team is still on the table.

[Todd4State]

Because they may look smart in seven years if he actually pans out. 1% chance of that happening but it's a 19th round pick. What do they really have to lose?

I was about today the same thing. Do the Bears have someone in the Padre organization? Because he just got a three year deal worth decent money if I'm hearing right.

[Dawg61]

Padres drafted Manziel too. I'm starting to see why the Padres always suck. They value their picks like you value marrying a stripper from platinum plus.

[Jack Lambert]

Maybe Freeze told him he could do it and Mullen said no. MIght have been part of the deal.

[Ifyouonlyknew]

Not at all because they were all in selling him on playing for Bianco.

Not sure where you are hearing a three year deal, because all of these players will get 6 full years in the minors before they become minor league free agents. His slot value was also $100,000, so anything above that would come out of the Padres allotment. If he signed for $100,000, it is a sign that he really wants to play baseball.

No, it's a sign he got paid to do something he will never do...... Big difference. He's a football player. And that's his future. There is a reason the Padres suck...

[I seen it dawg]

**** that guy

Maybe they spread his bonus out over three years? Normally I think you get whatever your bonus is up front and then you have to live off of that until you make it up to MLB.

How did that pitch go? Hey, AJ- you're not a pitcher so you probably won't get hurt while you're playing for us?

[archdog]

Probably.

The way it works is that they normally do 3-5 year deals with kids that have football offers. Whatever the total is, they divide that by the years, and in order for the player to get paid for each year, they have to come play for a period of time during the summer. It varies how much they have to stay during the summer.

I'm hearing a 3 year deal north of 60k. So he gets 20k for going out to summer camps, probably not longer than two weeks. It's a great deal for the player, which makes me wonder if the Bears have someone in the padre organization.

[WesternSkyDawg]

It would just about have to be the gm or owner to go along with something like that. I don't think om could pull something like that off.

[redstickdawg]

is this a way to legitimize the payments as he is now a professional baseball player and immune to the otherwise amateur rules? Can they now funnel payments to him in the guise of the baseball stuff when it is really coming from TSUN?

[mic]

**** that guy

Exactly...

[Political Hack]

Or prime time

He's got the primadonna thing down.

[Mutt the Hoople]

All this griping and bitching about Brown spurning The Mississippi State University to go to lowly olemiss...and he's gonna play baseball anyway.

Holy crap.
