Around SBN: Leandro Damiao Is Still Really Good

The Padres will carry 12 pitchers

Ahhh mid-February... That magical time of year when pitchers and catchers report and then nothing interesting happens for a while, leaving everyone to wonder why they care so much that pitchers and catchers have reported.

As an example, the hot news today? The Padres will carry 12 pitchers. Booooorrrring.

I know that somebody will make a case for why carrying 12 pitchers will impact the strategy for the Padres, but seriously, that somebody won't really believe it.

Here's how I revolutionize baseball... Limit the number of substitutions to 5 a game, kinda like in soccer. If you make it to extra innings, you're allowed one more substitution for each extra half inning you play. Five should honestly be plenty. I wish baseball would change rules as often as football does. I'd love to see this sort of thing tried out, but I know it won't happen.

Oh c'mon, pitchers and catchers reporting is my signal to return here! :)

And look, I return... and there's hot news!

The right man in the wrong place can make all the difference in the world.

Finally
Axion comes back. That's bigger news than 12 pitchers on the roster.

more news
Greene Says"there is nowhere else I'd rather play than San Diego.

MLBTR thinks Shannon Stewart may be on the Padres radar.

Remember Bret Boone? He has signed a minor league deal with the Nats, joining his brother and dad.

You must defeat my dragon punch to stand a chance.

Very happy
about the KG quote. I'm hoping they can work something out next off-season to extend him further.
