Playing minor league baseball is not exactly a way to get rich. For the bonus babies or the players who are rushed to the big leagues, playing minor league ball is a necessity among their already financially secure future, but for late rounders chasing a dream, many look to the offseason and pick up odd jobs to help support themselves. St Louis Cardinals prospect Chris Swauger, a 26th round pick in 2008, is among those who go to work.

It’s a good read.
