I think we did a weeknight at 9ish last time. Is that still best for everyone, or would a weekend evening work better? earlier on a weeknight? Something like Tuesday March 12th at 8pm? Some of you still need to release guys..or at least, should. Snukes is down to 12 players, but no one else has less than 19. Most will probably be drafting 10-15 players, so hopefully it doesn't take more than a couple of hours.

General All Purpose Baseball Card Thread

I'll grab a pack at Target today since i'll be in the area. -

Thole was the next day. Those obviously are no longer relevant. It's also Ralph Kiner's birthday, although he was born some 64 years previous. Oh, and Tejada celebrated the 3 year anniversary in '89.

I remember he made me appreciate Thole's defense.

And once you start making dubious rules of who has the exclusive "right" to an unwitting amateur's services, you will never stop twisting those rules into pretzels. That of course, is irrelevant to this conversation.

It's interesting, you'd think protecting that pick would be against the spirit of the rule. The Pirates didn't finish with the 10 worst records. Look at the Blue Jays for example. 10th pick, protected, but likely to be MUCH better this year. Say they don't like the guys available to them this year, they could push the pick back, and take the 10th pick in a draft year when they finished closer to the top. And it's protected, so they could make the playoffs, be a great team, and still have a protected pick in next year's draft. I'd argue the 10 picks should be protected, but it should skip the Pirates pick. It should be the top 10 picks from 2013, not the carry over.

There is no way there is that language in the contract. *yawn* If I'm Jeter, I tell clinics my name is A-Rod when I pick up my stuff.

And Harvey's just the guy you're likely to run into out at a bar there, with who knows who else. You'd never expect Hairston, Duda, and Gronauer to be hanging out together, but they did. Didn't catch what they were driving though.

Is there a more stereotypical fitting car for a ballplayer with his first big paycheck to drive than an Escalade?

He's gonna tweet the his entire trip from Boston to PSL.

Edgy MD wrote: You agree on what it would take to get him? I have no idea. Trying to predict those things is tough, I mean the "experts" are frequently wrong even days leading up to big trades (things like, "He'll never get Wheeler for Beltran"). I do think there is a deal that works that the Mets have something the O's want and they would part with.

Edgy MD wrote: How'sabout Nolan Riemold? Hits when he's healthy, but knocked out last year by a herniated disc. The Orioles re-upped him for a $1 million dollar-one year contract, but they've sort of moved on during their run last year and have a crowded outfield in place. Could probably be had for a second tier prospect. Ahmed Rosario? Gabriel Ynoa? Cory Vaughn? Juan Lagares? Maybe it'd take two, but still. I feel a fraternity with our orange brethren, and Oriole players have always made a grain of sense to me in Mets uniforms and vice versa. doesn't seem to be a good fielder either, but looks to be able to hit. sign me up.

Just random baseball nonsense that doesn't need it's own thread.

And I can't stand Ojeda myself, so I'm gonna look forward to his days off. I always find myself interested in what Bobby V thinks of something.

White Sox bringing back Seaver-era uniforms this year!

Give two kids remote controls to operate giant Rock 'Em Sock 'Em robots You know what would be fun? A name-that-Met contest. Do they ever do that? Put a big ol' baseball card on the scoreboard and redact the name and position. Start with a Mets Hall of Famer, or an obvious contemporary figure and then get more and more obscure. Topps could sponsor it. they do that all the time. Maybe not the last year or two, although I remember Mike Nickeas' little league card. -

speaking of the media, guys like Heyman jump to tell us virtually every free agent signing, even minor ones, minutes before they get announced and it doesn't look like anyone in the English speaking media has mentioned Cedeno yet?
