Don't catchers run the bases too? Or do you mean that all that crouching would slow him down?kemajic said:363 MLB games.

Coming out of this pretty healthy, which is not even close to a guarantee with pro football.
I think the full vesting for the MLB pension is about 4 years service equivalent, for which he is likely still short and hanging on for another shot at some more MLB roster time. Good player, but playing against the best.get'em_griz said:With a $950,000 contract this year, a net worth of about $2 Million at 30 years old, a pension plan and lifetime healthcare plan, even though he hasn't seen much time in the bigs he's set up pretty good when he's all finished with his baseball career.
