#33 Enderso Lira: https://soxprospects.com/players/lira-enderso.htm High-variance catching prospect with considerable upside. Has all the tools you look for in a catching prospect of his age, but is a long way from actualizing them. Lot of development remaining. Present value is all about projecting what happens in the future as he physically matures. Turns 19 in October.

Football games can be watched in about 30 mins.

Now, you've really done it!

I'm all for a pitch clock, robo umps and a universal DH. I often tune into a Sox game about 60-90 minutes after it starts. I fast forward the commercials and sometimes between pitches and usually join live by the 8th inning.

Who is reporting this news on Kike?
-
Yes, their attempt at changing the fans' perception.
-
I know the shift has increase greatly. I know the reasons why. I think most people don't like it. I get why a change is coming. I'm not so sure the extent that analytics has hurt the game is as bad as many think it is, but I can see how many see it that way.

soxprospects.com reports... IFA Signings and Other Acquisitions http://news.soxprospects.com/2022/03/scouting-report-updates-2022-ifa.html
-
OK, and they're not on the 40 man roster, either.
-
But, they act like giving the players 162 games (and 162 games of pay) is a concession.
-
Is the amateur draft in the CBS?
-
Good analogy. It's hard to believe anything Manfred says.
-
And, then there's this... ...the international draft has become a key sticking point (Twitter links). He hears that the league considers it a crucial feature of any agreement but the union still has concerns about its inclusion in a deal.
-
A bit more of a gap, here... It’s also worth noting that MLB’s last known offer was for a $40MM pre-arbitration bonus pool that did not increase throughout the five-year CBA. The MLBPA’s last known proposal came in at $80MM in 2022 with growth to $100MM in ’26. Nicholson-Smith has noted that “players have indicated a willingness” to move to a $70MM starting point growing to $90MM. That would still mark a sizable gap.
-
So, the owners have now gone up to $230M on the lux tax but want to add a 4th tier. It sounds like the gap is closing on this issue. MLBTR... The owners would like to add a Third Surcharge Threshold. Using the owners’ latest offer, the 2022 thresholds would be set at $230MM, $250MM, $270MM, and $290MM, with increasing tax rates for each tier. That new Third Surcharge Threshold would always sit $60MM above the Base Tax Threshold.

Is this now the 4th deadline of threatened loss of MLB games, or did I miss 1 or 2?
-
Yes, that sounds like the most plausible reason, but that doesn't change my opinion. I am fully aware that my opinion is in the minority. Plus, it's not like like I love the shift, but I see it as always being a part of the game, and there being no need to change it. I understand rules have been changed in the past, like the DH in the AL, which greatly changed the game and nature of stats and records. I can see how many were against that change, too. Many were for it. I'm totally fine with people disagreeing with me, and know there are many of them. I'm not sure why I feel the need to keep saying that. I get the feeling you feel like I think my opinions are fact or undebatable.
-
Understood.
-
Point well-taken.
-
Would you buy a season TV package for over $100 to watch all their games on TV? If yes, how many like you are there out in this world, and why aren't they offering that package everywhere?
-
I enjoy it, too. I try to see a Sea Dogs game every summer. It's not the same, and I'd never pay to watch them on TV.
-
So? Is this a sign we are heading towards playing the best 1200 to 2400 players in the world? Many of the youngsters are way more talented than most 28+ year olds. I do wonder about why we maybe should have called Fred Lynn up a year or two earlier.
-
I'd never consider paying big money for the right to watch evert Portland Sea Dogs game on TV, or even go see many games. Do I enjoy watching a game here and there, while I'm visiting Maine, sure, but it's a different kind of enjoyment.
-
Of course I realize there are a lot of people who disagree with me. Why do you act like I don't know that? I've already heard from quite a few right here. I actually called him a lying clown, and I expect many disagree on that term, too. You keep making the point that there are many different opinions out there, but you act like I am presenting my opinions as fact. Newsflash: I'm not. I'm just stating my opinions, and some may be unique or even near stand-alone in this whole big world.
-
I notice no such thing, in fact the players are seeking to make younger players make more and more money than the older ones -percentagewise.
