No. The issue is, or at least should be, has the player
fulfilled the requirements of a certain number of days on the 40
man roster, or does he hot. Mind reading has no place in
contract performance, regardless of the business.

Megill looks like a totally different pitcher this spring. If
he had no options left (I assume he does) he would be a lock to
make the team.

Norwood 98-100 with the fastball. Slider at 91.

The rise of super agents like Boras is what made service time
part of the conversation...

Little 95-96 with the fastball. Tight breaking ball.

Dave-The Bryant grievance was all about intent/motive. Basic
contract law starts with a covenant of good faith. This goes
back to centuries old English common law. Here is the basic
statement taught in law school (usually in the first week of a
class on Contracts):
“In every contract or agreement there is an implied promise of
good faith and fair dealing. This implied promise means that
each party will not do anything to unfairly interfere with the
right of any other party to receive the benefits of the
contract. Good faith means honesty of purpose without any
intention to mislead or to take unfair advantage of another.
Generally speaking, it means being faithful to one’s duty or
obligation.”
Obviously, the concept of “good faith” or “intention” (to
mislead or not) has what you call a “mind reading” element. Why
someone did or is doing some act or course of conduct is central
to many, many components of the law. It is a cornerstone of much
of our jurisprudence in virtually every field.

I'm not sure I'm seeing much correlation between hitting up
around 100 and being very good! Norwood, Maples, Stock... Maybe
an inverse relationship?

Yeah, Norwood labored the entire inning (which he couldn’t
finish).
Shelby Miller was clocked 93-95 but I only saw one good
off-speed pitch. Will have to be better than this to make the
club.

I wonder if Tepera is going to be ready to break camp with the
big club.

Will really hurt his MVP chances if he can't.
