I think they should make field dimensions a common size along with the center field fence to level playing fields

I don't mind seeing different parks as a spectator, but playing on different fields was annoying as ****.
our home field was 355 down the left field line and 415 to center, but 295 to right.
one field in Canada was 300 all the way around with about 15' tall fences
a college in Oregon was a literal softball field with a portable pitcher's mound plopped down. second base was in the grass behind the infield.
one field I played on in Montana that also housed a single A team had no fence and ****ing trees about 350 feet out there in the outfield

You would still have parks that have help from the wind/altitude but have them somewhat consistent. Starting with whichever Team is getting the next ball park upgrade.
I doubt the baseball nostalgic old people would condone changing the OG fields and I probably wouldn't either

My HS had about 100 feet of fencing in RF, there was a pitching machine inside of it. Open CF with no fences that led to the lacrosse and soccer practice fields. Some trees in left with a barbed wire fence, this was a 6 foot fence so a LF jumping up to get a ball could have conceivably gotten torn up in barbed wire, never happened but still.
Complete ass cluster. And this was a private school with money.

Too tired to care
Crack smoking Shapiro. I'm learning to hate that ****er with a passion more and more every day.
Then you can't be a Cubs fan if you're rooting for another team. Those are the rules.
Davis wouldn't go there unless they paid him 25% more than anyone else would.
That's a ****ing retarded comparison.

CO has some cream that is getting rave reviews. It won't get you high but will probably make you fail a test though. Might as well just stick to the vicodin and become a junkie I guess.

Thats why I said when teams upgrade to new stadiums. Grandfather the rest in but if you change parks or alter it will be to conform.
let me guess...it also was used as the football/lacrosse/soccer field...my kid's HS field was like that 300 lf...430 cf...345 rf...terrible

nope, it was actually a nice field. just retarded dimensions. warning track was probably 20 feet long and was gravelized lava rock. awesome stuff to run and dive on. the cf wall was the grandstands of the football field. saw one guy clear it out of the 15 years I was there, twins ended up taking him like 6th overall one year.

Montero can put up comparable numbers to Trumbo and get paid $650k. Davis is all or nothing at the dish and awful in the field. He might of hit 40+ HR last year, but people forget that he hit just .199 in 2014.

I see Davis as Richie ***ton 2.0 in Safeco. Montero lost a bunch of weight and is in good with the front office. I see Dipoto making a move for a 1B to atleast platoon with Montero like he plans to with Guti/Smith in LF.

i'm not sure who they plan on using. word is they had about 35mm to spend after arbitration raises. 5 went to aoki and 13-15 will go to iwakuma. gives them another 20-25 to go after someone now that they unloaded with trumbo. outfield is set, 1b and the bullpen is about the only areas of improvement, pending they re-sign iwakuma.
they oughta try and make a package for votto. reds are perpetually rebuilding and he's got a huge contract. I doubt it'd take too much in terms of prospects to get him, so long as they pay most if not all his remaining salary
