I'm definitely in favor of the removal of the hill.

Thank you! Player of the Year will be announced on Thursday and then, a few weeks from now, we'll have the Tabloid Cover Derby to get us through the winter.

I'm inclined to let Walker go and stick with inexpensive internal options at second base. They have a lot to choose from. And if they can sign Cespedes promptly, I'd trade Jay Bruce to free up more money. Spend the savings from Walker and Bruce at catcher and outfield. I'd like the outfielder to be able to bat right handed, so Fowler, a switch-hitter, may be a good choice.

And Curtis is at Al Lang Stadium.

That's better than Jason Bay's nickname which, as I recall, was GIDP.

Yeah, I don't see it happening either. My guess is that there will be a new manager in place in 2018, but I expect that it will be someone with major league, or at least Triple-A, experience as a manager.
