2/3 of all first rounders get to tje big leagues but that isn't what's important in this case.

When they first get to the big leagues the only make the league minimum so in this case he would have to play in the bigs long enough and well enough to make big $ on his first real contract

Yes I worded that wrong. Less that 50% of first rounders play in the bigs long enough to sign a big contract. Next five years if he chooses baseball will be well under 1 mil per year. If he chooses football it will be many mil a year. Financially speaking with no guarantee of long term success in either sport, it is better for him to take the guaranteed huge contract a 1st rounder in the NFL will get. I'm not saying anything about which sport I think he'd have more success in. Only speaking to his financial decision. If it's purely about money, he should go to the NFL. Even if he flames out after a year or two he will make a ton of money.

I really think it's finished and he is letting the show finish before he releases it. In fact, I think that's why we got "Fire and Blood", to kinda satisfy us and make more money, of course. I think he is pissed at Dan and Dave (HBO adapters of the book into the show) and is going in different directions, sometimes out of spite. Going to drop the book on the Monday or Tuesday after the last episode and watch even more money roll in.

Seems like you'd make more with an unspoiled ending. Either way, I just hope he gets it out there, and here's hoping the next one is done as well.

He wouldn't last 2 years in the nfl imo. His chances of making money for longer than a rookie contract are better in the MLB, I think. I just don't see an NFL team drafting a 5'9 QB high enough for him to get a large enough rookie contract to make up for having to pay back 5 million to Oakland and still come out with more money at the end of his sports career.

Arizona will more than likely draft him #1. Have you taken a look at the QB class this year? He will make at least as much as Baker did with his GUARANTEED money rookie deal.

70 mil now or 100 mil in 5 years... I know what I'm choosing

I honestly hope he picks football because he could potentially break some of those assumptions about a short guy playing QB and it would be fun to watch. I don't know if he would succeed because he is incredibly small. But he is one of the few that has the potential to do it with his passing ability and athleticism. If he can be smart about not taking hits the way Russell plays instead of a lot of these guys who think they're unbreakable, he could actually do it. Would at least be fun to watch. I have no idea about his baseball ability. I'm sure he's really good, but I don't think him succeeding there would really make as much of an impact as it would in football.

They would have to trade Rosen though probably.

I don't think the As can even give him a big league contract now other than the league minimum

You know if that's correct?

Boras got Harper something guaranteed when he signed. I’ll wiki it when I finish a nap.

I've enjoyed both, but the books are better.

Books are ALWAYS better. Reason, when reading it explains what a character is thinking, looking at, nuances that just by watching one would never know. Plus others things that are pointed out by the author that you would miss just by watching it. Hollywood can never replicate the the entire scenario that they would like to portray. Imo

I may be in the minority with this opinion but there were a few plays in the Alabama game where his height was an issue in terms of making certain throws. That may be something he can overcome but I remember watching him thinking that NFL lineman are going to more than likely be taller on average than the lineman he was facing during the game. He may be able to overcome it by his pure athletic abilities but I could see a few teams weighing that issue during the draft. It will be interesting to see where he winds up getting drafted and how much his height played into it.

He’ll make A LOT more money in the short term (1-3 years) if he goes NFL. Let’s say he makes it to the major leagues in 2 years (being VERY optimistic) he’d earn 500k for the first couple of seasons before arbitration.

If he’s as good as his draft pick says, he’d be compensated a lot closer to market value 3-4 years in but still not making what he should be (see Kris Bryant).

I may be a little off, but you have to have 6 years of MLB time before you can become a free agent. So Murray would be in his late 20s at best before he can go get that big guaranteed contract. If you’re paying any attention to the free agent market the past few years, well good luck Kyler.

I would expect a work stoppage in the MLB in the next 5 years or so. Their financial situation from minor leaguers who have to have multiple jobs in the offseason to their horrible CBA is an absolute mess.
