Bucky signs with the Long Island Ducks of the Independent Atlantic League
Bucky Jacobsen signed with the Long Island Ducks on Friday, March 31st. The Ducks play in the independent Atlantic League that is comparable to AAA ball.
Bucky's agent, Joe Speed, said that the benefit of playing independent ball is that Bucky is still effectively a free agent, available to sign with any team in the majors or Japan any time during the season. This way, Bucky would have the opportunity to play for a top team without having to worry about a trade, being released, etc.

Unfortunately for the DUCKS, Bucky has signed a deal with the Cardinals...he will report to their minor league facility Wednesday and Play Thursdays...Booms away I think we'll see Bucky batting in the Bigs real soon!
