Much about baseball now is hypothetical. Will MLB resume in 2020? If so, when, and in what locations? How many players on a roster? Will the Designated Hitter be included in all games? I'm ignoring more articles than usual, and I usually disregard quite a few. Nonetheless, some side stories intrigue me, and I'm grudgingly accepting a Rob Manfred rule change as acceptable.
Much of my baseball time now is spent prepping my Strat-O-Matic SupraLiga. Fifty-two teams, and I'm the Commissioner. If Illinois' team is better than South Dakota or Alabama, the others don't get Compensatory Selections. I do as I decide.
