I hope Drury steps in a puddle and has wet socks and shoelaces every day until they get a new GM. What a disaster he has been. He was supposed to take them out of the last rebuild and now he gets to start a new one four years later?

It's at least a little funny the Mets said they wanted to improve their defense, and then signing Bo Bichette and Jorge Polanco so they can play them out of position.

Wrote about Nico Hoerner. He's really good and the Cubs would be dumb to trade him, but they might as well listen because you never know when you'll get Scott Kazmir for Victor Zambrano.

MLB umpires are great at their jobs and if you replaced the 70-something full-time umps with the next best 70-something umps, you would definitely notice the drop in quality.

I have written a book! It is available for sale now. It's a bunch of fun discussions about the leadoff man, including interviews with big names (Johnny Damon, Joe Mauer, John Smoltz, Mookie Betts, Kyle Schwarber and more), fun stories, best moments and, of course, rankings. Pick one up!

Time to settle this the way they used to settle 14-inning games in the regular season before the automatic runner: with a backup infielder on the mound for one team, and a 31-year-old rookie who is gonna get DFAed in the morning for the other.
