But do we really? I mean, there's the much-ballyhooed, first-round draft pick catcher who's barely played in two years, Estevan Florial and the Very High Ceiling, a bunch of chronically injured pitchers, and the 16-year-old in the DR who has already been proclaimed to be the next Joe DiMaggio.<br /><br />That's it—not so much as a promising outfielder left, otherwise.

Damaso Marte, after an awful regular season, rebounded in the 2009 playoffs to play a key role in winning our last ring.<br /><br />In the ALCS and the World Series, he pitched a total of 4 innings, surrendering nothing and striking out five. <br /><br />That's right: 12 up, 12 down. With Ryan Howard retired again and again and again.<br /><br />Did Coops learn a greater lesson from that performance? No, of course not.

And it just...Fantastic piece, Duque—really astute. And it just shows how much MLB reflects the general pathologies of our political and business cultures.<br /><br />Everything now, no concern about the future, stupid fixes for what shouldn't be problems in the first place. The "three batter" rule is inane, one more sign of how the owners—and, to some extent, the players—have let the game get out of control.<br /><br />The way the minors should be reformed is to have all of each team's minor leagues—except the really low levels—near to the major-league team. And all minor leagues should be clustered together, making for manageable bus rides and letting young players get some sleep. <br /><br />It's as if MLB has a death wish. Though really, it's just one more iteration of capitalism reduced to immediate profit and endless conflict, no thought for customers, employees, or the quality of the product itself.<br /><br />And the owners? Yeah, they'll be surprised when it finally implodes. But I imagine they will take their mountains of cash and quickly transition to running soccer leagues or those ridiculous video game competitions.<br /><br />When that finally happens, though, it will be a good thing. The game will be left at last to those who know and love it.HoraceClarke66https://www.blogger.com/profile/16965472730239358589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932285159851204335.post-15574598414386260692019-11-07T11:07:39.057-05:002019-11-07T11:07:39.057-05:00Wow! Thanks for posting that.
If you think that ...Wow! Thanks for posting that. <br /><br />If you think that cutting down to the forty creates a feeding/trading frenzy imagine what happens when the Yankees have to go from 285 to 150. 40 of those are the MLB roster so it's really only 110 minor leaguers.<br /><br />Your talking 135 players getting released at once and that's just on the Yankees. Yikes! <br /><br />Worse... Now draft picks and 16 year old international bonus babies will have to take the slots of AA players etc. <br /><br />The end result will be a worsening of the game. As these kids get less instruction and have more pressure to "put up numbers" . More emphasis on HRs and less doing the little things it takes to win that don't show up in the stat line. <br /><br />Stupid is as stupid does. <br /><br />Two possible good things... <br /><br />Was there any mention of actually PAYING the remaining 110 minor league players a real wage? That would be nice. <br /><br />This could be the return of independent leagues and teams because it's not like those ballplayers are going to go away. <br /><br />Overall I think it's a HORRIBLE idea! <br /><br />Doug K. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932285159851204335.post-9838826799152132512019-11-07T10:40:36.658-05:002019-11-07T10:40:36.658-05:00The fish rots from the head down.The fish rots from the head down.JMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09876016557456927299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932285159851204335.post-61683926784228982542019-11-07T09:34:01.978-05:002019-11-07T09:34:01.978-05:00MLB is getting to be a real drag.MLB is getting to be a real drag.13bithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02704750226699235013noreply@blogger.com
