Hypo: $2M or $50k per time you reach base + $100k per run for single A team
Poast new message in this thread
Date: April 24th, 2026 3:32 PM Author: sable doobsian property You have your choice of the following:
$2M right now, no strings attached
--or--
You get in a time machine and go back to the start of the baseball season a couple weeks ago. You'll be randomly assigned to a high-A team.
You are guaranteed at least 2 plate appearances per game (not counting rain outs) for as many games as you want over the course of the season, provided you're healthy enough to play and you play a position while you're in the lineup. You can't DH.
Every time you safely reach base, you get $50k.
Every time you score a run, you get $100k. |

Date: April 24th, 2026 4:59 PM Author: sable doobsian property If you take every pitch, you'll reach a few times. If you add fouling off a few strikes to your repertoire, you'll start reaching regularly. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5860140&forum_id=2/#49840280) |

Date: April 24th, 2026 4:02 PM Author: trip aggressive lodge cumskin I bet you could secretly pay off the other team’s pitcher $10k to walk you once or twice per game (not intentional walks but throwing a combo of balls and strikes). Not sure how long until they’d catch on that you’re walked way more than other batters or if a pitcher would snitch but I think this is lower risk due to the low salaries of A players.

Date: April 24th, 2026 5:01 PM Author: sable doobsian property What? You don't need any hits. You're only paid for reaching base and for scoring runs, either of which you can do with or without hitting. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5860140&forum_id=2/#49840284) |

Date: April 24th, 2026 4:26 PM Author: lavender codepig Lotta pitchers with control problems in A ball. I think I could stand there and walk 40 times. Plus eventually I'll score a run or two. And it seems like fun, I'll take the playing time. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5860140&forum_id=2/#49840197) |

Date: April 24th, 2026 5:02 PM Author: sable doobsian property Absolutely cr, though you'll have to start fouling off some pitches. Once pithcers figure out you literally never, ever swing, they'll just throw fastballs down the middle. How often are you swinging?

Date: April 24th, 2026 4:34 PM Author: Concupiscible gay gas station My strategy: be REALLY obnoxious and disrespectful to the opposing pitcher and team every day, and crouch super low in my stance, and get way back in the box and intentionally take really looping swings to hit the catcher's mitt and cop some catcher's interference -> I'll definitely get plunked a bunch and can get some walks. Plus that will mean the top of the order is coming up so I'll undoubtedly score on some HRs and stuff.
I might not cop $2 million but it would be 180 |

Date: April 24th, 2026 4:43 PM Author: floppy spruce garrison death wish I would do nothing but train sprints and work on perfecting the art of bunting. Then just do my best to walk and if the pitcher is throwing all strikes at least put a ball into play and give myself a little chance. Position, I'm playing center field and just sitting down at the back wall every inning, letting RF and LF shade middle to cover my territory.

And LJL re that CF strategy. 180. |
