I feel like Bailey's contract wasn't a huge overpayment at the time he signed it but it looks really bad now that his arm has withered and died. lesson: never sign pitchers to long term deals

Don't know if it was mentioned in the pace of play chat earlier, but apparently the rule placing an automatic runner on second base in extras will be in place for the WBC and is going to be further tested in the AFL/minors this season.

This will start in the 11th inning rather than the 10th, and will actually be runners on first and second. The runners will be the two guys ahead of the guy leading off, so if the #4 hitter strikes out to end the 10th, he and the #3 guy will start on the basepaths in the 11th and the #5 guy will bat as usual.

The best argument for the DH is Edgar Martinez.

If I ever have a son I'll need to get the manual for raising him so that he gets to be a baseball player until he gets tired of it before going into stock car racing. I'd imagine step one would be becoming a hell of a lot more of a redneck than I currently am.

Some Numbers posted:The best argument for the DH is Edgar Martinez. To be honest, if you look after Edgar and prior to Nelson Cruz, the Mariners' DH performance was equal to that of a pitcher: 2014: Corey Hart - .590 OPS / Kendrys Morales - .623 OPS 2013: Kendrys Morales - .785 (Raul Ibanez was on this team at age 41 fyi) 2012: Jesus Montero - .685 2011: Jack Cust - .673 2010: Griffey - .454, so bad he retired midway through the year, and Branyan replaced him at .802 2009: Griffey - .735 2008: Vidro - .612 2007: Vidro - .775 2006: Everett - .658, also, Dinosaurs don't exist 2005 - Ibanez - .792 That's... pretty bad for a pure hitting position!

I'd say do it after the 11th or so. To start the 10th that way is kind of dumb. And who would be the runner? Would you have to burn a bench person?

I would agree with having it start in the 11th, so it'd be kind of like how in hockey they do the 5 minute overtime and then they pull out the gimmicky shootout.
