[Sports Guy]

Gotta like this.

Makes sense with the small expanded roster.

Minor leagues full season teams report to ST when?  March 4?

Its somewhere around there. Reached out to one player on social media when he posted counting down the days. That was Jan 21 and he said either 26 or 46 days. He is in the pitcher and catcher group. So March 8 or Feb 16.

Nice. Would also really like to see the Complex Leagues go to a full season or at least more like 100 to 120 games.

I’m guessing there’s a couple of reasons why they don’t:

1.  The foreign guys have a lot of adjusting to do being in the US for the first time.

2.   The high school guys, especially the pitchers, aren’t used to playing that many games and need to ramp up more gradually over a year or two. 

3.  These guys need more instruction on fundamentals and drilling, so better a few months of that and some scrimmage time than actual games.
