for those of us who couldn't make the annual meeting, will someone who did please post the decisions taken, any interesting ideas that may have been floated, and, of course, any funny moments that can - tastefully - be written here?
Let me preface that the S.O.J. ruined yet another decent Sunday in December and caused further angst a week after looking sloppy in weather I'd rather not talk about.
Back to baseball...Some idiot that looks like me threw my hat in the ring for 35+ commish, managers seemed fine - now for the always messy Senate (board) confirmation hearings. I'm deferring all questions to my attorney, Johnnie Cochrane.
Topics of discussion at the 35 level were: - player movement, spec. multiple guys wanting to get releases to go to same team - "borrowed" players and whether they can come from a "younger" division - Whether to consider where borrowed players can hit in the lineup - whether to restrict courtesy runners from being able to steal - whether or not we have a 15th team and what that would do to scheduling - whether to have "offset" scheduling based on last year's final seeding - How 14 (15?) teams, should be reflected in playoffs, i.e. should everybody make it or should we come up with other structure - Number of players just becoming "of age" for the 35 division. And yes, it IS a 35 division.
