It's IL, not DL.  I'm also not being pedantic, I'm pointing out an obvious flaw in the numerical logic--namely that even in a full 162 game season last year, probably only about 1500 to 1600 players were paid $100k by a major league team.  It's no surprise that when salaries are cut by 63% (which is less of a cut than the owners are taking in revenue, by the way), that the proportion of players making below $100k increases.  Last year to make $100k, a player only needed to be on a roster for about 1/6 of the season--this year it will be almost half.  The numbers simply don't add up, and at the end of the year, I am willing to bet that nowhere near 42% of players made less than $100k.

 

 

That comment is the definition of pedantic...

And this is the definition of a loaded statement.  I say you're something, and by you denying it, it only confirms you are what I say.  The original number seemed illegitimate, which I demonstrated it was.

 

As for IL vs DL, that's a serious thing--serious enough that MLB changed it.  Continuing to use the ableist term DL shows dismissiveness towards the experience of thousands of humans.

MLB just has to be relieved Matt Garza is retired - never saw a player spit as much as him.
