Maybe there is some way to reduce the stress on his body. if you move him to another position, the bat becomes a whole lot less interesting. this is not Mike Piazza. I think he has proven by now that as a catcher he is going to keep getting hurt (he might get hurt elsewhere too, who knows), the best you can do is take what you get when he is healthy and make sure to always have a reliable backup.

    Philly's little league stadium needs to be upgraded to major league dimensions.

    IMO making the neighborhood play reviewable is a HUGE mistake. All other changes are fine. I think taking it away defeats the purpose of the rule change, because if safety is the primary goal they just made it more unsafe for the fielder. And also managers will be reviewing every other freakin DP. I disagree. Safety is important, but safety should be improved by changing the rules not by refusing to enforce the existing ones. The "neighborhood play" was always horseshit and should have been the FIRST thing that video review was aimed at - the fielder needs to touch the base while in possession of the ball or the runner is safe. Managers can surely review every DP if they want, at least until they get one wrong and cant challenge again. I'd rather get it right. and maybe the umpires after getting overturned on review a few times will start to actually follow the rules and call runners safe when the fielder doesn't touch the base, obviating the need for excessive replays!

He will NOT appeal the ruling, despite his earlier vow to do so, which leads one to believe that this sentence was reached with all parties involved. Yeah, this was negotiated because MLB learned from the NFL's experience where the arbitrator reduced suspensions for a wife-beater and a child-abuser. MLB gets their precedent set (30 games for domestic violence when you haven't even been charged with a crime) without anyone being able to overturn it. Chapman gets free agency after this year (the big deal for him despite his agent's big talk was really just making sure he got enough service time in for that) I'd loved to have seen a bigger penalty, but I think this is a reasonable one considering the lack of charges and his agreement not to appeal.

    Edgy MD wrote: I think we may actually, somehow, have a home opener without a single guy getting audibly booed. Folks may be over Tejada, but giving his leg to the cause has got to have bought him some goodwill. The series goats are either gone (Murphy) or still glossy (Cespedes) or enjoying so deep an emotional commitment among the fans so as to blot out any alleged sins (Shmarvey, Familia). De Aza may get the closest thing to a boo bashing just for existing — for being an unpopular signing at a time when it was believed he was the booby prize for losing Cespedes. He isn't that at all, now, but there might be some habitual, residual angst there. The home opener is against the Phillies, the fans an find plenty to boo and happily not direct it at the Mets!

    The biggest spread for the full-time players looks like Familia with a low of 15th best (Nymr) and a high of 3rd overall (Zvon). People looking at the closer as a "full time player" is probably the reason for the disparity in that ranking and why out of the entire aggregate list Familia being so high is the thing i have the biggest problem with.

Nothing pisses off a sports team more than jacked-up prices on the secondary market ... that they don't get a piece of!! I actually read that the move is not to combat jacked-up prices but rather to protect the face value of tickets - StubHub lets you list tickets cheaply while Yankee-Partner Ticketmaster wont let you go below face value, thus protecting the Yankees' own unsold tickets from being undercut on the market.

    Best part of the Arrest Affidavit is the part that list Young's occupation as "unemployed" - lets hope he stays that way.

    I see multiple lists where d'Arnaud is 7-8 spots behind Cespedes and I just don't get it. Are you giving Cespedes credit for his stats in Oakland? d'Arnaud was just as big a part of the Mets' 2nd half resurgence, but coming back from injury isn't as sexy as a back page trade?

    we are boring!

    is someone going to post the "Average List" and highs/lows as points for further debate?
