Under a different name.

Then you might as well go for an *actual* salary cap that comes with the benefits.

Are the rsns and national tv deals going to give Manfred an earful for the latest report on the owners using them as leverage or is this just par the course?

Dan Szymborski

12:12

I don't think conversations become uncomfortable until actually money looks like it's being lost.

Would putting a roof on Coors help?

Dan Szymborski

12:12

Probably not.

Someone forgot to put locks and chains around the gloves before they took that pic for the home page featured article

They should name the top 30 issues to negotitate for the new CBA, then have the 30 owners and 30 player reps go head to head - issue by issue. Max Scherzer vs Steve Cohen on the CBT.

Issue #28 - Should Bobby Nutting be launched by trebuchet? Debating it is Bobby Nutting vs. Andrew Miller

Have stock prices gone up for Master & Yale locks because of the lockout and all the photos required?

The Stranger

12:15

What if you pressurized the Coors dome?

Dan Szymborski

12:16

I dunno if it makes a park effect difference

Wasn't the Metrodome air pressured?

12:16

Hi. What do you think ZiPS really likes about Bryan Ramos to rank him at #20? Thanks.

Dan Szymborski

12:17

Good plate discipline, very good for his age at the level, thinks he can play the infield

Ham

Why is Miguel Vargas top 10 in the ZIPS prospects?

Dan Szymborski

12:17

ZiPS doesn't see him as 1B-only right now

The Sid

12:17

Has there been any thought of using replacement players during the lockout?

Dan Szymborski

12:17

I'm sure there's been a thought, but I don't think MLB's going there yet

They got slapped down pretty hard last time after all

and they don't want to be forced to play under the old CBT again

12:18

err CBA

The CBT explicitly sunsetted on a date

So there's cbe no CBT

If you pressurized the Coors dome, could I cook my beans faster? Not for chili, mind you, for cholent.

Dan Szymborski

12:18

Just how much pressure are we talking about here?

I keep hearing people say that if you get a Salary Cap - it comes with a Salary Floor. Does it? If everything is part of the CBA, the floor is a negotiated item as well.

Dan Szymborski

12:18

It might, it might not. The revenue guarantee is the key

What to do in Colorado? Dan, think BIG!
Build a pressurized dome. Set the pressure to sea level, and you can match the playing field size to whatever sea level stadium you like. FTFY

Dan Szymborski

12:19

I don't know how hard this is to do

Or expensive

This is completely out of any area of expertise I have!

If you are new to baseball labor issues, be careful if you google CBT.

is cognitive behavioral theory a hot button topic?

I really don't know
