Each of those regulars, excluding pitchers, must play a minimum of three complete innings." Ah, never knew that. "Reasonable chance to be regulars" could be fudged into being lots of crappier dudes. Evan Roberts on 'FAN (I know, consider the source) said yesterday that that rule only applied on or after March 1. Because the Mets sent no one the other way yesterday.
