The churn and burn on relief arms is high enough that I think guys like Chris Murphy will get service time no matter what. Maybe not a full year in one season, but could get there over multiple seasons. May number may be a little inflated...

Ceiling of 25. Probably 15-16.

Spend 100,000 hours training for a job. Spend 5 years not even making a living wage, but working your ass off. Finally get an opportunity to earn money. "Get a REAL job!"

MLB career is the real world.

Ceiling of an MLB bench bat sounds about right. Dude has natural power, but not much else.

@redsoxstats John Henry taking a prominent role in CBA negotiations starting today is potentially one of the first rays of hope in a long time. He’s long been described as a voice of reason in these things, while Colorado’s Dick Monfort and others try to crush the union. Maybe the right people haven't been at the table?

AT&T and Direct TV including NESN is about $90/month, or $1,080 a year. If you watch every Sox game, that about $7 per game (noting that some games are nationally televised). Much cheaper than going to the movies or paying to stream a movie. If you are out of market, it's about $100 for the year. That's less than a monthly Netflix subscription.
-
And the vast majority of us don't have season tickets and spend most of our time watching the Sox via tv. Much better value than going to the movies.
-
Do you have season tickets and go to every away game?
-
I'm not saying what the players should or should not be paid. That's up to them to bargain for it. I just think the pushback against the players making money is dumb.

Is entertained by watching someone work for 300 hours a summer. "They make too much money. Was better when they had to work second jobs in the offseason." Tom Cruise gets $75M for a 3 hour movie and nobody blinks an eye. Prorate that to 300 hours and you get $7.5B. That's close to double what the entire MLBPA made last season. The amount of entertainment we get vs the $$$ we spend from watching the Red Sox is an absolute steal.

Why? Owners are making more than ever. The players should too.

Everyone thinks they can count beans until the accountants show up.

The problem with MLB is that it's 3 hours and 2.5 hours are spent waiting for something to happen.
-
Jaws, Star Wars, Wizard of Oz, Alien, Back to the Future, ET, Jurassic Park, Rocky, Citizen Kane were all 2 hours. Seems like most famous movies are 2 hours or longer.
-
I prefer movies to be closer to the 90 minute mark. It's not that I don't enjoy 2+ hour movies, but I find movies to be more enjoyable when much of the fluff is taken out. I was watching the original TMNT movie last night with my kids and it was about 90 minutes. Nice and breezy.

"Sounds like a you problem."
-
I throw that one out the window because I believe it was forced on him by ownership.

@PeteAbe MLB: “We regret that, without a collective bargaining agreement in place, we must postpone the start of Spring Training games until no earlier than Saturday, March 5th."
-
Players' parents to provide snacks for each game.
-
Offseason could be 50% longer!
-
I don't think most owners want weekday daytime baseball.
-
Having Mondays off would make it easier to reschedule rain outs.

@baseballtwit John Valentin turns 55 today. In the six seasons from 1993–98, he compiled 30.8 WAR (+83 Rbat, +76 Rfield), 11th in baseball. He did that with four years as a primary SS, one as a primary 2B, and one as a primary 3B. WAR leaders 1993–98 via @Stathead Very underappreciated player.

And no games on Monday?
