BengalBilly Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 Mikey may be a little dilusional. Jumping from football to baseball seems possible. Bo Jackson and Dion Sanders pulled it off. I don't recall any MLB players making the switch. Quote

Weeden in Cleveland and Wilson in Seattle are 2 players who swapped Baseball for Football, although I think Wilson never played although he was drafted. Quote

cravnravn Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 Elway was drafted by the Yanks, never played Quote
BengalBilly Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 Elway was drafted by the Yanks, never played As a pitcher or what? Quote
BengalBilly Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 Rightfielder, for the yanks With his height I was guessing 1st base. Quote
ForceEight Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 Not at the pro level they didn't.Wrong on so many levels. Wilson played for the Asheville Tourists last year, and Weeden was on the Yankees, Dodgers, and Royals rosters. Quote

Did Mr. Weeden ever make it on the the playing field, and I'm talking about a field in a MLB type game. Minor leagues don't count even though the players are financially compensated. We probably make more than they do. Quote

We probably make more than they do.Not really sure what player salaries have to do with any of what this is about, considering that your argument is that it's not possible to jump from baseball to football at the pro level. No, he didn't play in the majors; he was a Single-A player, and that's professional baseball. If you want to compare them to Bo and Deion, go ahead, but that's hardly the point of any of this; Mike Flacco isn't one of them either. Quote
RavenMad Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 Drew Henson was another to make the transition: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drew_Henson Quote
cravnravn Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 Drew Henson was another to make the transition: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drew_Henson Thats right, forgot all about him.... Didnt Danny Ainge play for Toronto at the ML Level, then went on to a good NBA career? I think it was Toronto Blue Jays he played for.. Quote
RavenMad Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 Jeff Samardzija: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Samardzija He would have been drafted as a WR but chose to play baseball and is doing ok. Quote
