"BRACKMAN UPDATE Moeller High School product Andrew Brackman remains hopeful he can work into the Reds’ plans. If nothing else, the 26-year-old right-hander is in a good frame of mind. “I feel positive every day coming to the field,” Brackman said. “I’m confident now. I didn’t have any confidence when I was with the Yankees.” Brackman was the Yankees’ No. 1 pick (30th overall) in the June 2007 draft. Last year in Triple-A, Brackman was 3-6 with a 6.00 ERA in 96 innings, with 75 strikeouts and 75 walks. Brackman signed with the Reds in January after the Yankees let him go. Wednesday, Brackman pitched one inning against San Diego and allowed one run (earned) on two hits."

^^ Mariano's signing bonus was $3,000. But, that doesn't change the fact that Brackman was overpaid

Should have stuck with basketball. Would have been on that sweet 16 team iirc, and would have been millions poorer

take the money and run

He had legitimate pro potential as a basketball player too. 6'10 and can shoot? You don't think he could make some money with that?

Update: Brackman still has pierced nipples.

i wore my brackman t-shirt during our little run there, b/c i was running out of clean, red state shirts.

true story.

My step-dad manages the service department of a farm equipment distributor and Brackman came into his office recently. He said they talked about sports a little bit and he said he was done with baseball. He also talked about how fortunate he was to go as far as he did.
