I still remember a certain chapter of the book "Scout's Honor" entitled: "The Next Dale Murphy"

If only.

Did he make enough to "do nothing" if he so chooses?

[CyYoung31]

I have a feeling he'll actually be relatively good at it, despite showing that he's not the sharpest tool in the shed on numerous occasions

He made $30 million over 11 years.

Such a tough life this sports players have. Get grossly overpaid for playing a game and then get a job they aren't qualified for where chances are they still make a pretty penny.

Hopefully he mentions on base percentage.

I guess they are going to pair Joe "hit it the other way" Simpson with Jeff "swing hard in case you hit it" and Chip "did someone say snow cone?"

[50PoundHead]

I figured this is what he would end up doing. I'm envisioning Steve Lyon Part Deux. Enthusiastic (and sometimes wacky) takes on things.

[Julio3000]

He already knows what stats get recorded on the scoreboard, so he's ahead of the game, right?

[Knucksie]

He made $30 million over 11 years.

Yeah, that's retirement money, unless he invested unwisely.

Jeff has free health care for life and a 200K per year pension when he reaches 62. He will be fine.
