    In 2015, at least, MLB.TV came free to anyone who subscribed to Extra Innings.

    While they're at it, they should retire The Sporting News.

    Why 61 and not 47? If Redbubble is like Cafe Press and Zazzle (and I imagine it is) it's easy enough to upload images in the hope (however slim) that someone will buy something. I wouldn't be at all surprised if not one OROSCO 61 item has ever actually been produced in physical form.

    It sounds like it's still a head-to-head simulation of an actual game, but the stats on which the player's performance is based is updated based on how they're actually doing. So if you're playing the 2016 Mets against the 2016 Nationals, for example, and it's August and Kevin Plawecki has hit 40 homers, he'll perform as much more of a slugger than if you were using a stagnant card that was based on his 2015 stats.

    I don't really care at all about "clever". I vote based on the visual appeal of the cover. I guess that's what helps make this contest so unpredictable; different voters use different criteria.

I had a hunch about "TEAM OF DESTINY" but beyond ruling out some obvious duds, I really had no idea which ones would emerge as favorites.

    That seems to be true in AAA. In the lower levels, pitchers don't seem to bat at all. (I base this on looking at minor league hitting stats. We see pitchers listed at the upper level but not at the lower levels.)

    Jim Duquette has been using the term on Mets Hot Stove. I wonder if he's the source of this.

    The only aspect of this story that matters: Are the Orioles still in on Cespedes, or are they no longer in the picture?
  15. Benjamin Grimm
    Who?
  16. Benjamin Grimm
    Mets lurk in Yoenis Cespedes market with short-term bucks Kevin Kernan in the Post says: The Mets are monitoring the situation closely, but do not have a one-year offer on the table. According to multiple sources, the Mets continue to look at one- to three-year scenarios with Cespedes. The Mets would be willing to go three years for about $60 million. If for some reason Cespedes does not take the Orioles’ deal, and wants to bet on himself on a one-year deal with the hopes of hitting it even bigger as a free agent among next season’s weaker class, the Mets would be more than happy to sign him to a one-year deal in the $18 million-$22 million range.

    More on this from CBS Sports. Reported offer from Baltimore is $90 million over five years. Report: Cespedes considering very different offers from Orioles, Mets?
  19. Benjamin Grimm
    I don't know. I think I'd have faith that I'd be able to get more than $12.5 million per year in my next contract, which is what it would take (over four years) to break even on the deal. It seems like a risk worth taking.
  20. Benjamin Grimm
    Yeah, I think I'd roll the dice and take $25 million for 2016 and see what the future holds after that.

    What date is this? And in "Sandy and Pee Wee" I assume it's Koufax and not Alderson?

    Yes! That could be the kind of thing that gets the deal done. We can also throw in 72 virgins if we have to.
