    No, there are exactly no teams that are more likely than others to "benefit from the shorter season". Variance cuts both ways. If a lack of SP depth would sink the Angels over a long season it also has a good chance to sink them over a short season - that 3-4 week elbow inflammation issue that would not be a big deal over a 162 game season is a huge deal in a 60 game season when the replacement SP sucks. If Mike Trout rolls his ankle instead of missing 8% of the schedule he could miss 23%. All of the bad / mediocre teams have a higher chance to make the playoffs in a random short season. Now there are teams that could benefit from the unbalanced/unfair schedule...

    I dunno about few. 33 years old, leukemia, extensive injury history in his career.

    Org basically trading for three dead cat bounce candidates

    Toronto had the type of draft that makes smart/modern fans drool. Martin - possibly the best, most well-rounded player in the draft VanEyk - pitch metrics are great. who cares about the less than ideal height. Palmer - pitch metrics are fantastic. who cares about the beefy reliever body. Frasso - upside from a stuff and size perspective. who cares about the arm injury scare.

    I guess I just don't buy Escobar. He's what, a top ~15 2B option?

    Yeah I don’t like the value on your end much

    I don’t think either side is crazy. Most in this league would take Franco but in some other leagues I think some would take Story. Maybe.

    Shortstop. Infielder first. You can always put him in CF if the infield is full.

    Hey look, that poser Mason McRae was wrong about Martins bonus. Who would have thought

    Mayo’s amount over slot is less than half of how under slot Kjerstad was. They must have signed someone else over slot by like $1.4 mill?

    The relationship that BTS has with Nick Markakis is deeper than most people understand. Nick is a focal point of BTS’ development as a baseball fan. Keep this in mind.

    “Stop being f***ing dense” is not a personal attack. I will DIE on that hill!!!!

    I haven’t seen the Frasso part.

    Even if it happens it will feel kind of like a scab season

    Decent chance you’re right

    If someone analyzes the strength of respective schedules and can show that an owner got f***ed by the computer, I am willing to manually tweak some weeks. Also, we are adding 2 IL slots for 2020 in light of expected Covid cases.

    Here is what we are going with for the schedule, unless there are strong objections: - First week will be short (4 days) rather than merge it into an 11 day week. This lets us add one more matchup. - There will only be 4 playoff teams. This lets us add one regular season matchup. - The schedule is just randomized with no divisional bias. - Top 4 teams in total standings make the playoffs. - It will be an 8 week regular season then with 2 weeks of playoffs. This means that the divisions are essentially irrelevant this year, even though we will still have them (just so I don't have to re-enter them in 2021). Winning your division does not guarantee a playoff spot.

    MLB season starts on a Thursday. Have our first week be 4 days long or merge it with week 2? Having a short week 1 would let us have one more matchup in an already short season.

    Hey! Coronavirus debates are badspeak. Knock it off!

    He's a blogger who is into the amateur side and seems to do some hobby scouting, at least. He's not an insider by any means but I think he wants to be a scout or something and knows some scouts or industry adjacent people. Not a huge fan to be honest. He'll commonly say some arrogant stuff and then just delete it if it looks bad in hindsight. He slammed the Trent Palmer pick as "the worst in the draft" a while ago and basically said Toronto in giving a future reliever in Palmer so much money had backed themselves into a corner RE: signing Martin and Frasso. Looking now and the tweet is gone. I think I said "well this will be a dumb s*** opinion when they sign everybody"

    I've conditioned myself to expect disappointment so I won't be shocked if he fails the physical. - Krylian

    Looks like the CC diet is... amphetamines?
