I don't know about you, but I wouldn't turn down a chance to have a major league at bat. Jason Bay doesn't deserve the salary he is getting but he is getting it. Should he give all that money back?

Not everyone can have this type of moment, so because no one else that has struggled for 7 years in the minors/independent leagues is getting it, he shouldn't either? Not sure why you are so adamantly against this...

Oh course no one would turn it down, that's not the point. The point is whether he deserves it or not. And no, he doesn't because he hasn't done anything since then to prove that he is of a major league calbier player. So because he had a tough break, and you feel sorry for him, give him an at bat!? Well shit, I almost played pro ball until my shoulder blew out, put me in there for an at bat, but they aren't because I don't deserve one. Bay may not deserve it now, but then when he signed he did.

From the PR side, I see it as a great 'feel good' jesture.

From the player's side - I would politely thank the Marlins for the gesture, but decline the offer. No one that has worked that hard to comeback should accept a last ditch token offer. His story sucks, but he did make it once. He worked hard and made it. No gifts or tokens.

He loves the game and wanted another chance. I'm shocked he is taking this offer. 'Everybody feel sorry for me' society at it's best.

I will watch and root for him on 10/2. I do feel sorry for what happened 7 years ago. I just don't think 'its the right thing to do'.

Did you 2 guys boo at the end of Rudy?

Damn...it's not just for that kid, it's for his family and for the Marlins too.

He's not just taking...there's also the giving.
