Il vero opener sarà Cardinals@Marlins il 4 aprile però sarà bello aprire la stagione intorno a mezzogiorno con le due partite in Giappone.

Curiosità: se doveste scegliere i giocatori con lo swing "perfetto", mancini e destri, chi prendereste? Intendo proprio come meccanica di swing. Tra i mancini a me piacciono un sacco quello di Cano (che mi sembra "pulito" e fluidissimo) e quello di Adrian Gonzalez; mentre tra i destri non mi viene in mente nessuno.

Giocatori di oggi, ma anche del passato se volete.

Grazie.

Alex Rodriguez

A me piacciono Mauer come mancino e Jason Bay come destro...

Harper mandato in triplo A, mossa che denota l'oculatezza con la quale vogliono trattare questo talento. Ci sarà tempo per vederlo all'opera

Leggevo questo:

E mi sono imbattuto nella frase:

go ahead and cut him. In so doing, they’d recoup three-quarters of his $5.6875 million salary.

E perchè mai recupererebbero quei soldi? Ho sempre saputo che i contratti sono garantiti (a parte forse il prorata giornaliero dei 420.000 del minino)
Chi mi illumina?
Renè? Grazie

I contratti ottenuti in arbitration non sono garantiti durante lo Spring Training. Vuol dire questo (secondo paragrafo):

After arbitration has been requested, the player and the club can continue to negotiate back & forth, and the player can withdraw from the process any time up until the hearing. And in fact this frequently happens, as the player and the club will often agree to just "split the difference" (something the panel cannot do). If the matter does go to a hearing, the arbitration panel must choose either the club's offer or the player's figure.

Win or lose, the player is awarded a standard one-year MLB contract with no "minor league split" salary or incentive/performance bonuses. Also, the contract is not guaranteed, so if the player is released during Spring Training, the club would only owe the player 30 days or 45 days salary as termination pay, depending on when the player is released. (A player on an MLB 40-man roster receives 100% of what remains of his salary if he is released during the regular season).

NOTE: The Major League Baseball Players Association (MLBPA) is very sensitive about salary arbitration, so if a player who was awarded a contract through the salary arbitration process is released during Spring Training, the MLBPA will almost always file a grievance on behalf of the player, claiming the player was released for economic reasons only (which is not permitted), and asking that the released player receive 100% of his salary as termination pay. In that situation, a club would have to show (by submitting official Spring Training game stats) that the released player was out-performed in Spring Training games by another player (or players) competing for that roster spot.
