RE: UAB will pay Hoover $3,200 to hold game against Alabama at Hoover Met

I'm pretty ambivalent about the whole experiment. It was certainly good for the Barons, and while I agree he wasn't terrible, I wonder if he was as good as the guy whose roster spot he took.
Well, definitely not. He couldn't have been. A guy with Jordan's slash line would've been demoted at best and outright released at worst. But it's the minor leagues. Using Jordan for exposure and attendance isn't even in the top 50 most unjustifiable things minor league franchises have done. And the minor leagues are filled with experiments and guys who are given shots on raw athletic ability. So it's defensible.

Sure it is. Like I said, I'm ambivalent.
