Mets sign ...

47 year old Julio Franco to a 2.2 million dollar contract

it wouldn't be that bad really. but, they signed the "47 year old" to a two year deal

[Max Levine]

Nice contract for a pinch-hitter!

[bigboydan]

max, i guess we all know why the mets are always never in contention. because, all there players are using rascles by the all-star break

[Illusion]

Yeah he's old, but the man can still hit.

[goldengoat]

i think the mets wanted to keep him away from the braves assuming there were no other takers

[bigboydan]

there was a reason there were no other takers though goldengoat. the man's 47 years old.


all i know is if i was a pro athlete, i'd want franco's agent myself

[Illusion]

Again dan, the guy may be old but he can still hit.

[bigboydan]

Again dan, the guy may be old but he can still hit.

so does that mean you would have signed the "47 year old" to a 2 year contract ?

Sure does, the guy has been a clutch hitter his entire life.
