MLB season delayed

I wonder if he's the only other catcher on the 60-man roster. This isn't like years past where you can find a vet hanging around in AAA and sign him for a week.

Harold Reynolds made a good point about that.

There is no minor-league season so all the teams are taxiing their best prospects.

And those guys are going to play if a team start 10-30 or whatever. There's no reason for them not to.

 

I knew I would like it when it got started.

I just worry whether the games can be taken meaningfully when they don't feel that way.

If you approach it as an elite northeastern wood-bat league (no fans and no expectations) then it is pretty good to watch, I think.

I can think of a hundred people I'd rather not hear speak about baseball than Harold Reynolds.

This is pretty cool, and it seems like something the Blue Jays have been building toward for a few years now:
