I don't like the idea of expanding the roster, for too many reasons to list here, but it goes back to the evolution of the game since the days when they played with 10 players. It's been a long slide into ball-lessness ever since. There is a very interesting interview on the 'Glory of Their Times' CD where one of the old players being interviewed (around 1961) is complaining about how modern players have to rest for every little injury. I'm sure the guys who played in 1961 feel the same way about today's players.

The Mariners 2nd-basemen sat out a game the other day because his neck was stiff - he had slept on it wrong. Poor baby.
