Someone on the roster will hit the DL before the season starts. You can bank on that. The question isn't which catcher would other teams want. The question is which ones does DD want to keep. He will not get much for Leon or Swihart, and I think Vasquez is still planned as the long term team catcher. Leon has caught 252 games on three divisional championship teams. We would not get a lot for him, but there are teams that would like to have him.

And he prayed before he took the shot.

My mistake, his first workshop will be on how to use a syringe and the importance of not hitting a vein.
-
They could carry fewer pitchers to start the season as there are more off days in March and April. Carrying 3 catchers to start the season is a viable option. $2.75 million makes him virtually untradeable? I don't think so, and there is the option for DD to eat most or all of the salary in a trade.

A poll with six choices, including the very unrealistic choice of retiring, but it doesn't include the more reasonable choices of trading Leon or keeping 3 catchers.

The Draft is scheduled for Monday, March 25th at 7pm EDT. I tried to send a calendar entry to each of you, but I think that was a fail.

Great!

I agree. Only paying teams will get to draft a team.

He seemed like a very nice guy. -
Will Jonathan, Karlos and Hugo also be coming back?
-
Great! Send me a PM with your email contact and I will send you an invitation. The dues are $20 payable using PayPal before the draft. If we get 10 teams, the draft will be very competitive. It should be fun.

There is a fresh draft every season.

RIP Nick -
That sounds great!!

Baldelli is reputedly negotiating a clause where he only has to manage every other game, because back to back games are difficult for him as are the final three frames of each game.

This guy is a trainwreck.

I think the 2018 team was a talented group that pushed each other to be better every day. Complacency had no chance to take hold. There were a few player-coaches on this squad. JD was always helping the hitters and leading by example. Price was a mentor for the staff. Also, there were a number of emotional leaders -- sparkplugs -- Betts, Sale, Nunez and Holt. Complacency could not enter that clubhouse. And if they didn't bludgeon you with HRs, they beat you by getting on base by any means necessary. If they had trouble getting on base, they made things happen when they got on base and beat you running the bases. If the offense sputtered, the starting pitching stepped up. When the starting pitching sputtered, the bullpen stepped up. When the pitchers needed to be picked up, the gloves did their work making web gem plays. It was a damn near perfect machine.

Lackey was toast. The most useful thing he did that September was to order the Chicken.

What was not out of proportion was the epic collapse of that team in 2011. The pitching going into September was hanging by a thread and Theo failed to get any reinforcements. Tito also did nothing to prevent the team's precipitous nose dive. He needed to flip over a table in the clubhouse or something, but he remained Francoma -- which was a great demeanor for teams that are performing well, but not when a losing group mentality is starting to take hold. They didn't need to do a lot, but they did nothing. Theo got caught with his pants down so much that he was looking to make a trade for Capuano on the last weekend.

As a barista.

He was a very good pitcher (underrated) who was very tough on the Red Sox.

#5 can be scratched off the list.
