    I honestly don't think most of the general public gives a rats ass about it right now, or even know it's happening. They're not going to care who is at fault because ultimately it changes nothing. As for a mediator, if you have someone with experience in brokering supposedly fair resolutions to disputes across all sectors and interests and you aren't willing to let him try because you might have to make concessions, then the problem is probably you. I don't think it's a bad look for the owners at all.

    Nestor for sure. Kim or Irvin MIGHT be marginally interesting.

    The players in the full season minors are putting in full-time hours and are basically only being paid for their time actually playing on the field during a game. Hollywood is different because it's basically gigs. Players don't have the freedom to pick which team they want to play for or "audition" for many different roles. I DO think it was brilliant for the Jays to increase the pay for their minor leaguers voluntarily though. I bet that will incentivize a lot of guys in the international draft who don't get the big bonuses to choose the Jays over other teams, not to mention allowing their players more time each day to develop their baseball skills rather than working additional jobs.

    Even if they don't have capacity limits, I'd imagine there would be a lot of people not willing to take additional risk regardless. Also, I don't know about anyone else, but watching the NBA and NHL over the past year has really sucked with so many people out of the lineups on a daily basis. I have not found it particularly enjoyable. It's like, wow this should be a great match. Wait, why is there a G League team out there? I really don't see much motivation for the owners to have a full season this year. I think the players are going to have to give in if they want to play.

    I really dislike singers who try to make the anthem about them and not the country.

    Or two days ago, or ... what was I talking about?

    Please leave the chickens alone Connor.

    Think I'll go Stars and Scrubs again, but just a $1 contest. No confidence in my picks this week. Rahm, Burns, Gooch, Spaun, Whaley, Theegala.

    Next argument: Should Randy Johnson get in after murdering a dove on the field?

    Wild end to that! When Kupp caught that at the end, they probably should have just let him score.

    Wow. Was not expecting that!

    Damn it Gooch!

    I would think the system would measure the players automatically when walking up, then set the strike zone as if they were standing straight up. You could squat if you wanted to, but it wouldn't affect the zone. Since that makes too much sense though...

    I think the draft room is easier from both an admin perspective and a player perspective. The draft also seems to move a bit faster.
  16. Abomination
    Over / under on the meeting lasting longer than 15 mins?
  17. Abomination
    I don't think the pandemic response will factor into the long terms plans for any sports league.
  18. Abomination
    Yeah, and we might end up having to take that route. Going back to keepers could also work, although we have a few guys that can be hard to track down for drafts. It seems like cutting down to 20 just resulted in everyone dumping middle relievers into the draft. The Basketball league doesn't feel too great with only 6 keepers (to me anyway) as it feels like you can't really keep young players without paying too high a price in terms of competing. Maybe something like 12 MLB and 8 MiLB would work. People would have to make meaningful decisions and drop good talent, but elite players could still be held onto. Dunno.
  19. Abomination
    I don't really think people would go for that. Plus, it would just substitute two somewhat duplicate leagues for one somewhat duplicate league.
  20. Abomination
    I'm tentatively taking: Gooch, Wolff, Rose, Hadwin, Whaley, NeSmith
  21. Abomination
    Who can blame him? It's been like 47 days since anyone made an offer to him
  22. Abomination
    BBDL isn't dead, but I don't really want to run off-season stuff right now as I don't think we'll be seeing baseball for a long time. As soon as we have dates for a guaranteed spring training and stuff, we'll run everything and replace anyone we need to. I am open to turning it into a pure redraft or some other format though if everyone wants to. I do kind of feel like three mostly identical leagues is probably too many for the board to properly support right now.

    What a crazy ending!

    Maybe the Jays were smart and starting paying Grandma to cook him ultra healthy meals!

    You could have predefined base salaries plus WAR escalators or something. If the player reached the free agent threshold during the season, then they would be paid based on their average WAR per game over the past 320 games or something for the remainder of the season.
