what’s going to happen to college players eligibility? I’m speaking about baseball players who have only played a few weeks of their season. will this effect who is draft eligible?
Csuf just announced all spring athletes get another year of eligibility.
Why would it?
They cancelled their birthdays? Now they have gone too far.
No one asked “hand sanitizer or Clorox sheets”? Or how many rolls of tp is too much?
How much of a baby boom will the Corona Virus impact cause?
True… we have nothing better to do. Might as well…
Maybe we could create our own chats since the guys of MLBTR can’t chat nonstop?
Thank you Mr. Adams… good call.
Like the offseason reviews-
Only suggestion maybe spin a future payroll ledger in them for 2020 2021 2022 and talk about whoes coming off/ways to spend the money/vesting options/buyouts etc etc
For as avid as the posters are here quite a few could use a little brush-up on future payrolls and the significance they may play down the road to teams- I always suggest Spotrac to people here but maybe you can bundle the payrolls here with some added commentary and kinda get the best of both worlds
It figures that a year in which my Tigers have the #1 draft pick (again) that the college baseball season is cancelled. This will undoubtedly affect who gets drafted and where.
With it being so hard to make the majors regardless of where you’re drafted, this will make it particularly tough. Some teams will get lucky and some will have miserable failures in the draft.
Steve’s responses about corona seem a little silly and media influenced. People are going through a mass hysteria when the facts are pretty strong:
1. Corona is generally NOT FATAL. The vast MAJORITY of people recover.
2. The vast majority of people who die are senior citizens and people with weak immune systems, who would’ve likely have died from most other harsh flus or similar diseases.
3. Very few people are actually sick. For example NYC has 8 million people, and there are less than 60 actual cases.
There’s a ton of gloom and doom and panic when it’s just not necessary. It’s the unfortunate effect of social media and media bias/incompetence.
