The key phrase there in RJM’s fantasy question was “if money was no issue”.
I like Seattle. We have lots of family in the area. My kid would enjoy spending time with his cousins, hiking in the mountains, and training at a World Class facility as opposed to his arm getting used up in meaningless post grad games, and I wouldn’t have to argue about pitch counts with Joe “Back in My Day” Tobacco Spitter, his post grad coach.
“How it would work out” would be a fun year long family vacation in one of the most beautiful parts of the country, with some great Baseball training involved.
I suppose if money truly were no issue, I’d have my kid get hitting lessons with Barry Bonds, too.
Maybe next time RJM is bored, he can ask “if your kid ran a 6.4 60, would you have him play wide receiver or center field?”
