Sam Frank, reading Craigslist for research purposes only, forwards the following response to this provocative CL post :
How? Sports, i was drafted in ’06 out of college via the mlb draft and signed a lucrative contract with incentives due to my draft status, the pay scale is progressive depending on where you were drafted, but i digress, the “woman” who posted has to be a phony or attention whore.
I’m 23 and unless i’m out in a outrageously fancy car or excessive bling women dont give a fuck. I’m a handsome guy, but otherwise i’m only that, but when my top is down in my ride they flock like pigeons. Men who have money are very aware as to who is “real”. It’s the women you meet under circumstances that allow them to see you for you is where you weed out the hoes.
I’ve seen it all and me and my buddies just laugh. It’s like bull durham. Groupies everywhere in some cities we travel. These women know once we roll into town there are perspective millionaires in waiting. I play minor league ball, i will break into the majors one day, and like i mentioned earlier your pay is based on your draft status. Some guys make from 800.00 to 6k a month if they dont have a contract.
To the doubters its ok. I’ve said what i have to say. you’d be surprised who searches craigslist. “rich” people have myspaces, facebooks, etc, so it wouldn’t be a reach to say they go on tmz, craigslist, etc. To the hoes on here we dont want you. You’re a piece of ass and most of us dont even use escorts unless its late late at night, otherwise, the pussy is plentiful. A lot of these women just want to breath the air we breath. We have rockstar status.
“A friend” of a recent MLB Rookie of the Year bristled at the above description of minor-league life and posted the following: http://losangeles.craigslist.org/lgb/rnr/432148936.html
I did some (on-the-clock) research to see which ROY was drafted in the first-round double digits “within the last few years” and signed a seven-figure bonus… Many thanks to Bobby Crosby’s circle of chums for setting us craigslisters straight in matters of big-league livin’ and lovin’.
Some really light research about the ’06 draft, starting with the supplemental round, reveals David Huff, Christopher Tillman, and Andrew Carpenter as the only LA area prospects before the 3rd round. You could add first-rounder LBSU’s Evan Longoria if you’d like, just for fun. He’s the only LA-area player from the ’06 group who could conceivably have groupies. The others are all nondescript long-shots in A-ball.
I’m still wondering if that NYC c-lister looking to do a Bobby Abreu lookalike had any takers.
