Baseball player puts AD up on craigslist?

[CTA513]

I heard about this on ESPN today.

Anyone want to take a guess on who it was?

I am here for two months before i head back up north. I have this morning before practice.....looking for a woman to enjoy the morning with. Can be married or single, disease free is important. I am 5'9" 180 short hair and blue eyes, in shape, of course.

OK, here for spring training......guys are going to the bars and strip bars and just getting drunk.......I do not want that, I am just looking for a lady who wants a month long no strings attached sexual relationship. I am 5'9...190 short hair, blue eyes. A lot of fun. Reply soon, I am not interested in many women...but just one. Age doesn't make a difference, just the personality, or can you catch me eye with your reply

Deadspin and Big Lead speculate it could be Ryan Freel.

Because there's nothing more ethically sound than quoting a freaking Craig's List ad and extrapolating it out to connote normal human activity -- and little more fun! -- The Big Lead thinks Ryan Freel might be having a little Craig's List morning fun.

Doing the math, they've decided it's Reds utilityman Ryan Freel ... or Farney, anyway. Allotting for the fact that it could have been anyone, you, us, Howard K. Stern, who put that ad up there, we agree with Freel, or whoever the anonymous poster is: Disease free is important.

Craigslist - a bastion of hope for the lonely, the losery, the desperate. Afraid to talk to that girl on the subway? Post a missed connection and maybe she’ll see it! In dire need of a roommate, like, yesterday? Ask and ye shall receive. In need of some early-morning action during Spring Training? You can probably get laid that way, too. Here’s an ad our reader spotted:

Time Before Baseball Practice, M4W-30

“I am here for two months before i head back up north. I have this morning before practice…..looking for a woman to enjoy the morning with. Can be married or single, disease free is important. I am 5′9″ 180 short hair and blue eyes, in shape, of course.”

Normally, we’d open this up to the masses so everyone could venture guesses as to who the player might be, but our emailer was a full-service tipster: after scanning the Cincinnati Reds roster, our emailer believes the 30-year-old looking for some action is outfielder Ryan Freel. Yes, the same Freel who admits to having an imaginary friend.

So, which reporter in Cincinnati wants to ask Freel about this?

My guess is this was a gag posting by Dunn, not Freel himself.
