    I just did. I can't find the new CBA (signed in 2016, currently in effect) available to view online. Can you provide a link? I CAN find the previous CBA at mlbplayers.com. http://www.mlbplayers.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=34000&ATCLID=211078089 It specifically states (pages 53-54) that only a team physician is needed to submit the necessary paperwork to the league for approval to place a player on a DL. Players may request, in writing, a second opinion, but this would not delay the original DL decision. Summaries of the new CBA published at the time it was signed include shortening the minimum DL stay from 15 to 10 days, but do not include, from what I can find, any indication of changes to the procedures to place a player on the DL. Bottom line: in the absence of contrary information, I don't think any additional medical review over and above the team physician, and approval by the commissioner's office, is required to place a player on the DL. It's very possible the separate concussion DL might be different, but again, without seeing the current CBA, I can't say for sure.

    I agree with this. But I wonder if Brock wasn't referring to putting someone on the 40 man before they're useful.

    I think in June you do what's best for the long term and don't worry much about lining up starters two series in advance. This is the Twins team, they're either good enough, or they aren't. I think, with a couple additions, they can compete for the ALC and/or WC. They need some production from the other three rotation spots, but so does Cleveland. So does most everybody.

    The chapter on iron was hard.

    Do you think that's a good idea? Both benches have already been warned.

    I've been reading a book about the elements. The chapter on helium is so good I couldn't put it down.

    Not afraid, or not aware?

    If any of you end up in Vegas, I highly recommend seeing Penn and Teller at the Rio. Fantastic show. They've updated their show in recent years. For a while there, they used the ol' "trap door" trick in every show, and it got old. I guess you could say it was a stage they were going through.

    I have a stepladder out in the garage. It's just fine and all, but some day I hope to meet my real ladder.

    My grandkids are over, and I was grilling up some hot dogs for lunch. My eldest granddaughter (she's 4) came out to help me, and unfortunately we had quite a scare. I picked her up, and she dropped her doll on the grill. The thing flared up and we came close to both getting burned. ... It was a real barbie-Q.
