    Rename the Rogers Centre to Halladay’s Field.

      If Babe Ruth doesn’t have a stadium named, I’m pretty sure Halladay won’t. And the Rogers Centre is owned by the telecom company, they’re going to keep their name on it for advertising alone

          No there was not. Its is and was called Yankee Stadium. That is the name. Saying Yankee Stadium is the house hat Ruth Built is fine but no one refers to that as he name.

          So whats your point? Is Rogers Center the house that Halladay built? Its tragic what happened but sorry his impact on Toronto and baseball is nothing like Babe Ruth had on the Yankees and baseball

          Sorry, it was merely a light-hearted comment.

        There you go. Good idea. Name a section or name bullpen after him

      Why would you rename the entire field?

    The Altuve article is a disappointment in brevity.

    I would love the Astros to lock him up, but I’m not sure it’s doable. If they’re gonna have to pay market FA value, I say pass and take your chances in two years. The tigers did that with Miggy, and it looks foolish now. If a terrible contract is the only option, I say no.

      It’s really not that bad for the tigers. Miggys has one bad year and this was the first year the man went on the dl. Plus they are in rebuild mode now so paying him doesn’t really bother them

      How can you compare Altuves situation to Miggy? Do you not realize the vast age difference in the two scenarios?

    Pirates need to let Mercer walk, and sign Cozart

      That would be fine if you were a Cardinal fan. Mercer is younger and plays solid. Why in the world would you want Cozart instead?? In that case, the Cardinals will take Mercer if you don’t want him.

    Think blue: That’s a brutal list Rios is not a 3b and Beaty doesn’t have the pop to play 1st, although he’s somewhat intriguing. Even from Belmont he could hit now it’s finding a regular place to play. At SS I tend to think Brito is by far the most intriguing prospect, hopefully he bounces back from the broken leg. Although it’d be interesting to see the two of the best prospects climbing in the system being (S) guys something that’s been missing.
