I think they're pretty funny for guys dealing with the realism that even if they make the bigs, they've spent a long enough time in the minors to look at as a definitive existence in and of itself. The interviewer is Matt Paré of the Giants system. He's done a lot of YouTubing, and isn't above lobbying for more just wages and working conditions for minor leaguers. And he started his own dating site. [youtube:3r54vndi]i0ZAFHWtA3E[/youtube:3r54vndi]

I'm thinking Baker is done being an outfielder, though.

Ty Kelly talks eating, dating, music, minor league life styling, and plays a game of Two Nicklebacks and a Creed. Heckuva deadpanner. [youtube:33v30172]b38nB7gBhiQ[/youtube:33v30172]

Neil's got baseball blood all over the place. 1970s Expos pitcher Chip Lang is his uncle, by way of his father marrying Chip's sister, and veteran utility man Don Kelly is his brother-in-law, having married Neil's sister Carrie Walker, former Wagner basketball star.

It turns out that Neil Walker is lucky to exist, as his father is sort of the Dion DiMucci of baseball. Tom Walker was friends with Roberto Clemente, having met the Pirate legend in winter ball, and helped him load the plane of relief supplies headed to Nicaragua. The story goes that Walker asked to fly down with Clemente, but Roberto dissuaded him, encouraging him to spend New Year's with his family. Here's Tom Walker getting his Shea on.

Amazin Avenue digs deep in the data and declares Yoenis Cespedes to be a better center fielder than you think. Cardboard Gods cracks open the world through the facet of Dave Stieb. Roll Call reveals the $100 jacket every politician must have.

Mini-Me Merged with Metphemera.

It depends on the timing, but a starting pitcher who can be removed from the roster for three days is actually a benefit to the team, as they essentially take up space on their days between starts. Don't tell Mike Francessa.

The general objection, it would seem, is not his relative expendability (and it's silly to get caught up in this, guyzz), but the seeming urgency to expend him. They haven't gotten through spring training yet, and with Nieuwenhuis and Ceciliani dealt off, what remains behind him is the untried Nimmo and the infielder-who-fakes-it-in-the-outfield-who-is-coming-off-a-bad-year Campbell. So, I'm sure management sees him as having the potential to be dealt, overpaid and possibly underutilized as he is, but they probably would want to move some pieces or let some actions play out before making such a move. And Sandy has certainly demonstrated a willingness to let things play out. De Aza could be a starting Mets outfielder this time next week.

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.

Yeah, I had heard Joelmon had big new ghostwriting gig.

Well, if data suggests they're going in a positive direction, and that has the potential to continue with inculturation and reinforcement of new norms, I would be hesitant to endorse any maneuver that fundamentally changes the game. Cutting six minutes per game (even from a peak) in one season is pretty big stuff!

There's definitely some dramatic license. There's certainly some people who are crying that they've been painted wrongly (with some support), who are getting the talk to our lawyers response from the studio, which is unfortunately something akin to what the Archdiocese of Boston was too long offering the victims of the pedophile priests. Tom McCarthy and Josh Singer appear to have created Peter Brand-type composite characters, but unfortunately put their words in the mouths of real people. I note that while believing that Tom McCarthy has been in recent years about the best thing going these days in the dying field of screenwriting. It's interesting that McCarthy played the plagiarizing Jason Blair figure in the last season of The Wire and now has a chance to be remembered for writing and directing a story about journalistic heroism.

Is baseball still too slow or is Joel Sherman just committed to that notion. Football, of course, has the equivalent of a mound conference after every play.

There are also Latin American leagues (excluding Mexico) and the Chinese Baseball League open to him.

Excuse me? Is there a problem?

Tejada may well fail in 2016, but for a guy that can't hit, he out-hit the NL mean shortstop in 2015.
