10 teams? The Brew Crew may reach the playoffs again in my lifetime after all. Ah, but to what end?

Playoffs to be Expanded to 10 Teams


This is the first I've heard of it. It's indisputably a bad idea, so I have no doubts that major league baseball will adopt it.

@joefromchicago,
For what it's worth, MLB will also be implementing a series of new post-season awards: most-improved team, best uniforms, etc. And everyone else will receive an honorable mention ribbon. To go on the bulletin board on the side of the fridge.

I agree. This is the worst possible way to ... what bring back fans to baseball by diluting its perfect playoff structure? (Read as sincere not as sarcastic s'il vous plait....)

@Rockhead,

he jumped ship for a reported $8 mill.
guessing the sawx'll give salty a long look in spring training.
tiger C laird is another possibility.
tek should be back as occasional catcher/mentor/capitan...

@Rockhead,

my guess is they go with a cheap catcher -- jarrod salty with tek as backup, and make a bigger splash for
an expensive outfielder -- werth or crawford, or mebbee go for 1B A-gonz...

@Rockhead,

the jury's still out -- he came here as damaged goods, and wasn't able to swing the bat much.
but he did show promise as a back-stop, and tek will make him loads better.
the two things he has going for him -- young and cheap -- are in his favor...

Jorge De la Rosa signed an extension with the Rockies: 21.5 million for 2 years (I wouldn't pay him that much). That makes him the second best paid Mexican player in MLB.
(The best paid is Oliver Pérez Rolling Eyes).
