    It would be interesting to allow that a little in the NHL. Obviously it would have to be symmetrical, but if they allowed teams to vary the rink length and red lines a little, and the width between NHL and international dimensions etc it would make quite the experiment.

    Interesting. Not happy about that as a Canuck fan though.

    If that deal had gone through, no one would have ever had a right to complain about AA again lol.

    I got the notice for it when I logged into the baseball one along with the link to download the new one.

    Bautista is going to make a killing off all those followers with his clothing line and stuff. This just provides an extra way for him to gain them in the first place. There's some reports that each twitter follower could be worth about $3 / year in such a setting.

    Why would the Canucks trade Kesler? They need to add scoring and trade Edler if anything. (maybe there's some rumor I haven't seen yet, dunno)

    They still test for it, don't they? Don't players get sent into some kind of rehab or counseling though instead of suspension?

    More on Johan Santana: Jays were one of the teams in attendance. He hasn't been able to build his arm strength back up again yet (hence the reason for the lower velocity), but appeared to be in great shape and stuff was as expected at this point in his recovery.

    Yeah, I don't think the chips in the player's clothing would work (at least at the plate, it could be awesome in the field for defense). I'm also not in favor of getting rid of umps, but some sort of google glasses type approach where information could be overlaid for the ump would be really sweet.
  10. Abomination
    Yeah, that's what I was interested in also
  11. Abomination
    Did the telecasts show velocity for any of the pitchers?
  12. Abomination
    If it does, then start a second when the time comes. I don't think we'll be seeing hundreds of pages a game though, at least not until the mtl games.
  13. Abomination
    Honestly one for all the games is probably sufficient.

    This is hilarious (Reyes vs Lind in a battle of the beards). I was going to post some of the great quotes, but there's waaaayyyy too many of them! http://www.sportsnet.ca/baseball/mlb/reyes-vs-lind-battle-of-the-blue-jays-beards/

    Couple interesting things from today: 1) The Jays are thinking of converting McGuire into a reliever this year 2) Kawasaki will be getting some time in LF this spring in addition to the infield (sounds more serious than just a whim).
  16. Abomination
    Hell no! Way too physically dangerous for the pitchers.
  17. Abomination
    I'd like to see a pitcher having to face at least 3 full batters (or the end of an inning) before they can be taken out of the game. The nonsense we see now where sometimes 4 or 5 pitchers are used in an inning just sucks.
  18. Abomination
    I really like the fans projections in general for playing time. It's what I'm using in my spreadsheet (at least for players that have them available).
  19. Abomination
    I would kind of like to see this in the BBDL Give all non-playoff teams an equal chance at the top pick in the drafts so there's no incentive for losing. We don't have differences in market size though.
  20. Abomination
    Not much better. It suffers from the same problem, just not magnified quite as badly.
  21. Abomination
    The problem with penalizing a team in any way is that it will penalize the player as well. That's in part why we see marginal players right now still looking for work.
  22. Abomination
    It's already essentially capped though
  23. Abomination
    Short of changing up the entire draft system, this should absolutely be done (make the draft more fun too).
  24. Abomination
    The concern for me about Fielder is his weight. If he can keep it under control, he'll probably be playable until the end, but that seems kind of iffy. The last 3 years of that contract they may be paying him to be the world's fattest (but happiest) cheerleader.
  25. Abomination
    Certainly some teams would have an advantage, but unless they were the "dream team" for a player I tend to think the player would follow the money. Heck, let's say the Yankees offered someone 1M instead of the Astros at 1.4M - chances are that the guy is traded before making it to the Bronx anyhow (possibly to the Astros). Also, a prospect may have a better chance of making it to the big leagues faster on a team where there's better chance of a vacancy existing. The problem of some teams having the advantage is certainly the counterpoint to this kind of system though. Maybe give all teams a weighted draft cap bonus based on lack of playoff appearances over the last 10 years or something, along with a bonus for extending their own players into FA years or losing a prime player to FA.
