I went with Doctors without Borders

Hopefully the rest of the division can quickly add some talent via free agency.

I'm loving our pen. You left out one key aspect other than health, the guys who are coaching and managing them. I agreed with 90% plus of TLR's bullpen usage. He made some moves that didn't work out, a couple total head scratching decisions, but overall I hope he continues on the same path. I think the coaching will continue to improve as well, no reason not to believe additional MLB experience helps Katz.

A couple days removed and we forgot the sacrifice these players made for the future of baseball. If there is anything I learned this winter is MLB teams make too much money. $11 million should be $15 million. We should be outraged they only are paying him $5.5 million. He can't work anywhere else, has a short career, and deserves more of the profits than ownership.

Finished it for you. Every mention of Nick should include phrases like "Often injured", "delicate", and "unlucky", "rehabbing", "unreliable". I hope he has a great career, but if they traded for him, this board would hate the move pointing out his injury history and how we need guys to stay healthy to compete.

Right field is going to be an equally exciting signing. My hope is Kimbrel rebounds to the point he'll bring someone at the deadline.

Next step, full platoon.

All of us here. It's the NL snobs that are mourning the loss of those "strategic moves".

National league fans will have to figure out another time to take a piss and buy a beer.

And hasn't been for one hundred years* *With a couple notable exceptions.

At one point they were actually good hitters.

As a playoff team I hope we don't improve too much and the non playoff teams sign the best available talent to improve the competitive balance of the league. See how that eases any angst? We want teams below us to get better.

He's an idiot. Not a good time to be selling merch.

I like it, especially if it brings back regularly scheduled double headers.

Since it doesn't really affect Manfred, cancelling games isn't a problem. Maybe when the owners figure out what's been going on it will change.

Good points.

They have hundreds of millions invested. Companies worth billions. Hand pick a commissioner they all agree on. Then don't get involved in the strategy.

Also, the increasing value of the franchise. Most won't make the real money on until they sell.

That's what I go thought an hour ago. Now I'm starting to think Manfred is running the show and the owners aren't really involved at all. You would think with billion dollar companies they would care and be involved but apparently not.

To be replaced by a similar puppet. Kuhn was the last semi talented commissioner that at least pretended to care about something other than ownership. I wish a new plan with more player input in the commissioner office was possible

How's this, the entire ownership team sucks.

I agree. So why aren't owners asking those questions?
