Reimold signs...

[Rene88]

with the Long Island Ducks of the Independent League per Roch.

[Frobby]

He's just a phone call away....

[Rene88]

Him and Buck can rekindle the flame....

Wow... that is falling a long way.  No MILB deal?

Why even bother? Reimold was TERRIBLE last year. He's in his 30's and has no prospects of playing in the Majors again.

I understand minor league teams need to fill out rosters too, but again, why bother with Reimold? A young guy with even a glimmer of potential would be more worth while.

I've been to a couple of Ducks games at Bethpage Ballpark -- though I missed the Lew Ford Era. I'll have to get out there this spring to see Nolan.

Any Ducks games that you go to that I do not go to will make you a bastard.

After you leave said games, you'll be a swell guy again.

I am not advocating for signing Reimold to a MiL deal, but I'd never go so far as to say that he has no prospect of ever playing in the majors again.   Lew Ford says hi.

I just googled it and the average salary for Atlantic League players is $2,000/month, with a max of about $3,000/month.

Reimold and his fam just adopted a baby, their 7th child. 

Boy I hope he invested.

He's eligible for a MLB pension. That's a 34,000 a year minimum. And that's after only 43 days service time. Reimold has 5+years service time. So I'm sure that's a six figure a year retirement.

You won't, but I'll go ahead and say it: Reimold will not play in MLB again.

That said, I wish Nolan nothing but the best in his future endeavors.

I think Rich Hill was the most famous duck. Nolan was never all that quacked up.

33 years old and produced a negative WAR last year. Vaya con dios.

I wouldn't be shocked to see him sign with us and play with Bowie later in the year. Close to home for him probably. Injuries happen. Chris Dickerson essentially took his minor league spot.
