MLB makes new proposal- Union demands start date and terms by Monday
joelala replied to weams's topic in Orioles Talk
Ya I don’t think it is. No one is willing to make a concession. MLB will not concede full prorated pay and mlbpa will not accept anything less it seems. AND they just proposed a longer season than the proposal before. -
But definitely not a 'hary.' Yes perhaps, though each case is different, and it will depend on how fast Veen develops. Some reports say he made strides from last year to this, so maybe he's quick. Manny was only in the minors for two years before being 'ready.' But bottom line for me if I'm a scout: If I think two or more players have the same liklihood of reaching their ceilings (however high they may be) I'm taking the one with the highest ceiling every time, regardless of how long it will take him to be ready. Add in the fact that we can save money with Veen, and I'm liking him more every day. Ultimately I'll be excited about whoever we pick though, unless it's Hancock, whom I have reservations about due to his performance this season and the spin rate on his fastball.

Looking at Veen’s tape and his scouting reports, I don’t see how he’s not in play. And I wonder, if he had a full season this year to prove himself, if he’d have been more of a consensus at 1 even due to the plus defensive value he adds. I think he’s really good and the more I read about him, the more I also like him for us at 2.

I like the position we’re in a lot. I’d be very excited about any of the top 4 guys on that board.

I’ll have a hard time justifying spending any time, let alone money, on the sport if they can’t reach an agreement on a season. It would be a travesty and a death sentence for MLB as we know it. No reason to assign any blame either, it doesn’t matter. Myself and countless other fans will be lost. Will I go so far as to say I’ll be lost forever? No I love the sport too much, but boy is it broken right now. -

Yea I imagine morning, afternoon and night games. As many as four games a day in a single Stadium perhaps? Not sure how long grounds crew would need to get the field game-ready after a game, but I think with no fans it would be a short turn around. -

Yes of course. That will be such a relief when it happens. But you wouldn’t have to go anywhere to watch our Orioles on your television. -

The non-monetary value of increased national morale is not to be undervalued, my friend.
