BTS does love guys with extreme batting splits (platoon guys)

Still think they should try the new council about the Caesars recommendation for that spot which they turned down in 2013. The Woodbine site just sucks, and with Caesars up for sale, it might end up in Ajax or Pickering.

It would have to be the East side of the of the Don as the rest is already spoken for. Could make for some horrible commuting to games, and hurts the downtown bars a lot. Now if you build there and turn the Rogers Centre into a Casino complex, we might still have something. http://urbantoronto.ca/sites/default/files/imagecache/display-default/images/articles/2015/07/16673/16673-55533.png

1. Cram seats closer together in the lower level to increase capacity in the lower levels 2. Close the Dome all the time so that the freeloaders in the condos can't watch for free 3. Put in escalators, which can only be used by Rogers Cellular customers 4. Tear down the Ted Rogers statue and put up mine 5. Pay architects and designers in Texture subscriptions. Alan Douglas Horn My own suggestions Make the hotel rooms more like boxes with a balcony, and then you can charge more. It is honestly one of the worst places to watch a game as you stand by window. As someone suggested, improve the flight deck making it more of a party zone. Create a baseball feel around and in the stadium. Have more baseball themed photos, banners and games. Do something about the gate entrances so that you aren't standing around so long waiting to get in (I go to gate 12-14 and cut the time considerably). Quicker people get in the quicker they start to sell s***.

I think what's really important here is that we made this as difficult as possible for King to tabulate results. It is a character building exercise for him

You are getting advice from POTY, you don't need to be addressed by a rookie Brownie.

Yet when we point out your errors on here...you don't respect the peer review process.

It's been around for about 17 years now, does quality work. You can find out more about their services in PMs

I stated it many times as did King.

Old regime...and Atkins knows who to listen to on this board.

Although this might hurt my mod of the year status, you all are about to get a f***ing lecture. Todd is not a Troll and he has never been. The research on him was done and through our online identity tracking service, this particular poster was found and sure enough the writing style is the same in their personal social media pages where their real life friends are. Todd has not been attacked just because you disagree with his opinions, but because 90 f***ing percent of you felt it was your job play mod and decide that he was a troll. From day one, Todd couldn't make a post without someone responding making an accusation of who he really is. When RJF says this board isn't inclusive, there is response saying we are...but when someone comes in with a very different level of writing skill and different viewpoint, you all acted like the f***ing boneheads that RJF thinks we all are. I am going to work with the Mods on bringing Todd back (and respectfully admit that this probably isn't the best place for him). He has to learn to ignore the accusations, and not respond, but let mods agree. Personally I feel like s*** that I banned the guy and you better believe that those that have been *******s to him are more on my watch (several warnings were sent before this post was made) than Todd ever was. I am far from mature on this board, but I like to think that it's all just fun. This isn't fun. Now back to our frivolity and remember to vote TheHurl for MOTY.

Pass an and JJ coopers Twitter. Cooper said article being posted to BA immediately

JJ Cooper confirmed it. Otani will apply to the new rules 6m max until he turns 25. Stupid stupid stupid stupid.

According to Jeff Passan the wording is now 25 and 5+ years pro experience. I am in transit can someone research. My DDL future depends on It.

The new CBA just pushed Otani back to 2019 according to Passan

It's not often the old guy is wanted. Purely off memory, I think this provision was made when the rule was changed to needing medical diagnosis to place a player on the DL. At the time there were DL limits. Only so many players allowed on the 10 day (I think that was 2 and only one pitcher, which was possibly increased to 3, with only one pitcher when it changed to the 15 day). The DL change from 10 to 15 was odd as I don't think it changed with a CBA and may have been put in place in the middle of the season. There were 21 day and 30 day DL's as well, which also had limits on the number of players. They scrapped it all in around 1989.

a bunch of people have voted for best infrequent poster for an account that hasn't existed all of 2016

I'd like to point out that Dominican writers have broke stories like this before and the rumours were shot down...but they always ended up being true. I'm sure the baseball community talks a lot down there and they have heard something. We need Ang on this.

I think we'll see the really special International players move to high school in Puerto Rico to increase their bonus potential.

Player over/under. This year's contest?

I really wish that minor league jobs paid anything. I'd love to sit around working on promotions.

batting practice, side pitching sessions plus game play (and pitching way more often than he has in his career). If injury didn't get him, fatigue would. Even 2 days a week DH'ing involves him taking part in limited batting practice. which was the deal in Japan, he only took BP twice a week. Not to mention that you are exposing your $200M asset to opposing pitchers fastballs more often.

They seem to have him rated higher defensively than Martin. Not at all from what I've seen/heard. Essentially they have around Rene Rivera defensively.
