From Yahoo Sports........ Double duty: The Dodgers might be open to allowing Lee to continue to play football while under contract. His signing bonus would be divided over five years, and if Lee decided to give up baseball at any time, he would simply return the prorated portion. Because MLB teams like to keep the innings thrown by teenage pitchers at a minimum to reduce injury risk, the Dodgers might be amenable to locking him up while still allowing him to see where his football career takes him. Because he hasn’t had contact with the Dodgers, Lee is under the assumption they wouldn’t consider it. “I don’t think either side would want that as an option,” he said. “As a pro team you wouldn’t want a prospect going out and risking injury. And a major Division I school wouldn’t want an athlete competing in another sport and possibly having a severe injury.” Perhaps LSU football coaches wouldn’t tolerate the split duty, and it’s not ideal for the Dodgers, either. But it remains on the table.
So he would play minor league ball, presumably, and college football at the same time??? Is that possible?
:geaux: I was wonderin' that as well. Thought I read somewhere where it was 12 am PAC, 2 am CEN. If true, that sucks! :LSU231:
