You can’t draft someone you can’t add in yahoo. If Chubs is full, we can move to the next pick.
On that note, if I come up again you can pass me because I’m full.
I still hate it. I think the game is at its most interesting when a series is more than just 3 completely independent games. There's an appeal to two teams playing each other 3 or 4 times in a row, and one of those teams gaining an advantage for the whole series if they knock the other team's starter out in the first inning of game 1. There's an appeal to the idea that you need your starters to get you deep enough that you don't exhaust the bullpen.
I can't think of a single aspect of expanded rosters that makes things more interesting from the fans' perspective. An endless supply of fungible two-pitch relievers that throw 95 just isn't interesting.
It's going to be a reliever. Instead of 12-man pitching staffs with more and more teams rostering 13, every team will have a 13-man pitching staff with some rostering 14. Benches will still be the standard C/INF/OF/OF.
It's just going to expedite the shift towards 4-5 inning starts followed by a parade of specialist relievers. I also don't care to see bigger benches. Having someone come off the bench to pinch hit because he has the platoon advantage isn't interesting to me.
This is a way to get more MLB players earning service time and MLB salaries, but it actually makes the quality of the product worse from the fans' perspective.
I'm betting that most of the keepers will be MLB players that were taken. Since the start of this league we've seen the value of top-100 prospects get completely nuked once they're promoted from the farm unless they're the rare player who is a full-time producer immediately.
Someone like Boxy wasting 2 of his 25-man spots on prospects in a season that he's trying to compete is insane.
It's probably not even that. To be obese at 19 even though you're working out daily points to a pretty unhealthy relationship with food, probably. His issue is likely junk food, and that can be a tough, tough addiction to kick for some people. He has his work cut out for him.
