[USML Announce] MLB shutdown pending

[Doug Shabelman]

I’m up for postponing. I also don’t trust Andy has been washing his hands as well as he should have been. However, I’m more concerned with the thought of what comes out of his mouth considering his lips touched the butt of the esteemed VP Mike Pence….Andy, care to elaborate?????

Greetings,

This news just broke, and details are in flux, but it still begs the question: do we still hold our draft as planned on Sunday?

I'm fine either way, but there are three strong arguments for a postponement:

-- we have no idea at all when the 2020 season will begin
-- the status and valuation of some very valuable players (Sale, Verlander, Carrasco, etc.) will change if the postponement lasts a while and they recover from injury
-- some fringy but nonetheless important roster fillers may consider retirement or sign elsewhere and leave the player pool.

Thoughts?
