Ken's Mailbag | No reason to believe season will start on time

Ken and Tim start the show by discussing why it's looking more and more like regular season games will be lost to the MLB lockout. Then they open up the mailbag...

-Is baseball considering how to promote the game to kids in these negotiations?

-Will the minor league seasons go on despite the lockout?

-Can players play in independent leagues or overseas if lockout continues?

-How can we best evaluate General Managers?

-Will a bigger competitive balance tax lead to a decrease in parity?

-Is MLB umpiring good or bad?

-Would MLB adapt a schedule where all teams play each other every year?

-What types of hotels do teams stay in on the road?

Those questions and more! To be a part of next week's episode call the voicemail at 646-543-7072 or email [email protected].
