Reply to "Life in the minors"

I guess I was fortunate in that I never had to live a lifestyle like the minor leaguers do. Had a good job and a pretty decent apartment right out of college. My wife and I...both engineers...had it pretty good I guess.

One thing that happens in triple-A...maybe a little bit in double-A too...is that there is a mix of "veterans"...many with MLB experience...who are being paid quite well (over $100K in many cases, over $1M in some cases) and the up-and-comers who still haven't hit the big paychecks.

I have not detected from our son that this is a big problem...but its gotta be at least a little tough to be living in "affordable housing" while teammates are living in a condo on the golf course (both true on our son's team last year).
