    Would really like to see Will Clark make it. Loved watching him play.
    That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

      Steinbrenner and Lee Smith are the only two that have any kind of realistic shot.

        I read the Yankees dropped out of the Harper sweepstakes.

          Kep and Dr. Mrs. are working the polls today, but if he checks his phone, I'm sorry.

          @jonmorosi: Tim Tebow is likely to begin 2019 at Triple-A, but new #Mets GM Brodie Van Wagenen did not rule out the possibility that he could make the @MLB Opening Day roster. Tebow has fully healed from hamate injury, Van Wagenen said. @MLBNetwork

            How very Mets of them. This is 100% about ticket sales. This is the same team that just hired the guy that was an agent to like 8 of their players to be their GM.

              Hershiser was dominant and I believe deserving. That's the name that stands out to me in that list. Next would be Lee Smith.

                @Buster_ESPN: As there continues to be speculation about Bryce Harper and the Yankees, a well-placed source emphatically says: “It’s not happening. He’s not going to be a Yankee.”

                  @PeteAbe: During his opening statement, Scott Boras said LSU baseball out-drew the Miami Marlins.

                  Per average, indeed they did: 10,786 to 10,013.

                    That should be grounds for automatic relocation.

                      Looking at his numbers, the only years I would consider him "dominant" would be 1985 and 1988. He pitched an awful lot of innings from 1987-1989, but I don't see "dominance" there, outside of '88.

                      I would also argue that his success from his 3 years in Cleveland was due to the fact that the Indians were absolutely loaded to high heaven during that time period. It's a minor miracle that they didn't get a ring in the '90's, and only truly got close once (1997).

                            That's what I keep reading, but then yesterday I heard the Yankees are looking to move Stanton (with his no trade clause, I don't see how that's going to happen) in order to make room for Harper.

                              A lot of scuttlebutt lately about him going to the Phillies.

                                Are you saying Stanton or Harper to PHI?

                                If you mean Harper, no way WAS would let him stay in the NL, and in the same division no less.
                                If you mean Stanton, I'd guess NYY was the transfer station to let him stay in the NL East.
