Caddy all day

 

[BamaRidger]

I would choose caddy as long as the golfer isn't a prick like Bubba Watson.

Don’t want a chance to win the World Series? Tremendous pressure though

Guy I went to high school with was caddying for sepp straka who won the pga tourny sunday. He gets 10-15% or purse money so for 4 days of walking with golf clubs in hand he made a cool $105,000

Gotta go with golf caddy all day on this one. Just enjoy being outside on the golf course too much and the schedule of a baseball reliever would be pretty taxing.

The guy you know from high school did sooo much more than walk a course for 4 days. Not that any of it is tremdously difficult but tour caddies work very hard. I work with a former tour caddy and I know a bunch of others as well, these guys work very hard for thier players. Caddies are the back bone to a great competitive player and do almost all of the pre tournament work. Sometimes weeks in advance.

With that said, I would take being a caddy for a top 10 player for sure. Although you get guaranteed contracts and a boat load of money for being a no-named middle reliever. Maybe I need to rethink this because one 4-5 year contract as a middle reliever and you can retire comfortable.

Only downside to caddying is weekend work.(and the mandatory nickname)

Eye don’t wanna carry a damn bag all over God’s creation. Reliever hands down.

Middle reliever...my lifelong dream was MLB...

Do I get the knowledge of both positions or is it as I am now?

Oh man! I found one that has a tight poll. Caddy by 1

I think (as mentioned by some) people are underestimating the amount of work it takes to be a top tier caddy

 

[Cletusnow]

Middle relievers pitch for 45 minutes tops, 2 or 3 times a week. Caddy’s walk 18 4 days a week. Middle reliever no contest, much less ‘actual’ work.

True, except they likely walk 18 holes 4 times a week, and 18-36 most of the other days. I'd still go caddy though. Somehow baseball is even more boring to me than golf. Might rather kill myself than have to sit through 162+ games of that shit every season.

I'm the opposite. Rather watch baseball from the bullpen with a huge chawskie in and go to the clubhouse to yank one out and get a sammich when I need.

10-4. I will be Rick Vaughn.

I’ve been out at night with MLB players a few times...TTP everywhere...

I'm sure there are golf groupies too, but in my mind I imagine the baseball ones would be alot more fun. I mean shit, Tiger Woods had to go to a Waffle House to find someone who would do the things that the regular tour followers apparently wouldn't do.

More money as well.

Steve Williams (Tigers former caddy) made $4 million one year during Tigers prime. That is/was far and away the most of a caddy on tour. He was New Zealands top earning "athlete" as well that year. Most middle relivers are making more than that and they definitley work far less. The only issue is dealing with an MLB schedule which can be brutal. However most pitchers travel with tier golf clubs while on the road, so it can't be all that bad. Top tier golfers often take weeks at a time off so you wouldn't have to be on a plane going from airport ot airport every 3-4 days.

Tough poll for a couple reasons. Being a middle reliever isn't an easy position, as you may be pitching every day or every other day, depending on innings. Plus, you're one injury away from maybe never pitching again. Or at least for a couple years. Now, if you are one of the top middle relievers and guaranteed to not get injured, I'd take MLB all day.

Similarly, if you're good enough of a caddy to be a top 10 caddy, you're going to be making bank and it's something you could likely do for more years than a typical MLB reliever.

I guess to make a decision, I'd want to see some salaries for the types of players/caddies you're referring to, but initially leaning caddy, due to the longevity of career.

Figure top tier caddies make 15-18% of their players money earnings, 10-12% for guys who caddy for not as highly ranked guys.

Caddy on LPGA tour. Some of those women are smoke shows who probably need some pre round sex to ease the tension. Just sayin.

A middle relieving “Loogy.” Come in with that big sweeping curveball for a couple of hitters and go sit down...Perfect...
