a marginal major leaguer with the dodgers, now a batting champ with a 5yr/50mil contract...well played dee!
the potential financial windfall is too great that the risk is totally worth it. dee was a AAAA player, who was looking at maybe $5-10mil career earning? i don't see why other fringe prospects and career minor leaguers wouldn't do this....either they make the show, or get kicked out and become police officers (which they'd end up doing washing out on their own anyways).
