    He was incredible in 2015. I'm looking forward to hearing if the Phillies announcers call him Jay-or-Reese.
  2. Benjamin Grimm
    I always think that his name is Onomatopoeia. Seems like a good signing.

    Statue to be unveiled on Opening Day, April 15.

    14 games against division opponents instead of 19 isn't TOO bad. I was afraid that the schedule would be even more "balanced" than that.

    Carlos Rodon reportedly to the Giants for two years.

    Surprisingly, nobody guessed Drew VerHagen. https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/cardinals-make-mlbs-first-post-lockout-signing-by-inking-drew-verhagen-to-two-year-contract/https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/cardinals-make-mlbs-first-post-lockout-signing-by-inking-drew-verhagen-to-two-year-contract/

    I don't particularly like that. That's okay for seeds, but not for whether or not you win a division or a playoff spot.
  9. Benjamin Grimm
    I do think that now that this CBA is in place, talk of expansion will start to heat up.
  10. Benjamin Grimm
    Yeah, I'm predicting McNeil to Oakland.
  11. Benjamin Grimm
    I'd be very tempted to go see the Mets in London or Paris...

    I found this about the new postseason. No ghost wins... https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2022/03/postseason-expands-to-12-teams-first-round-will-be-three-game-series.htmlhttps://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2022/03/postseason-expands-to-12-teams-first-round-will-be-three-game-series.html

    I prefer the unbalanced schedule. Oh well.
  14. Benjamin Grimm
    I still haven't seen anything about the post-season format. Did the "ghost win" survive? (I'm guessing not.) I like that the first round will (probably) be a best-of-three (instead of a best-of-one) but I won't like it if a division winner is vulnerable to getting eliminated by a wild-card team in a best-of-three. For that reason, I think I prefer the ghost-win concept for that particular series. I guess we'll be seeing the details soon. But this is the part I'm most curious about right now about the new CBA.
  15. Benjamin Grimm
    Okay, now sign Michael Conforto and Kris Bryant and, I don't know, Sandy Koufax and Walter Johnson.
  16. Benjamin Grimm
    I'm happier about the end of the extra-inning baserunner and the seven-inning games than I am upset about the DH. (And I really hate the DH.)
  17. Benjamin Grimm
    So each league will have three division winners and three wild cards. Do we know yet how the playoffs will be structured? Do two of the division winners get a bye from a first-round best-of-three?
  18. Benjamin Grimm
    Passan saying that Opening Day is expected to be April 7.

    The difference between a minimum salary of $700,000 and $710,000 is so negligible. Splitting the difference at $705,000 seems like a no-brainer. The same about the first year of the CBT. $232 million or $230 million? May I suggest... $231 million?
  20. Benjamin Grimm
    Twelve teams out of thirty is too many, but not nearly as bad as fourteen out of thirty. I hope that if they do go to twelve, that expansion will soon follow and we'll be looking at twelve out of thirty-two, which is less bad than twelve out of thirty and much better than fourteen out of thirty.
  21. Benjamin Grimm
    It sounds like they may be making progress. They seem pretty close on the minimum salary, and the league has finally budged on the CBT. They've agreed on the number of playoff teams and a few other things. I acknowledge that this can all go down the tubes in a hurry, but on the other hand, I wouldn't be at all surprised if a deal was completed today.
  22. Benjamin Grimm
    I hated it too, but I've reconsidered. The game needs some adjustments. I won't object to a rule that says that two infielders have to be positioned on each side of second base. Ideally teams would find ways to beat the shift organically, but that's not happening and baseball games have become slow and plodding. If this, combined with a pitch clock, helps, then I'm okay with it. It's much less objectionable than that phantom extra-innings baserunner.

    If there's no season, there will be a quite limited Tabloid Cover Derby, and if that happens, this cover may be a strong contender: http://leaptoad.com/mets/covers/2022/20220302_NYP_02.jpg>
  24. Benjamin Grimm
    I'm thinking that we'll be lucky if the season starts by June 1.

    He probably should have accepted to QO. I read something recently that said that signing Conforto (or Bryant) won't cost the Mets a draft pick, but that's not true in Conforto's case. They get a draft pick if he signs elsewhere, and wouldn't get it if he signs with them. That wouldn't stop me from signing Conforto to a one-year deal. The Mets are in win-now mode (as they should be) and if they can get him they should.
