Any idea when these are released.

End of this month, beginning of March is when they came out last year.

[edman42]

Any ideas on the new crew chief(s).

that, sir, is BAD math. 64 = 21?

how 'bout 68/4 = 17...

I don't think Damien has worked double digit games in the majors. He might work some fill-in games, but I'd be very surprised if he went full-time this year.

No. Just someone who knows where to find the answer to a question.

Damien only has spring training so far. No Big League games. And the list of crews is out, I have it. It might not have been out publicly yet.

Odds are now 17 (50%); 18 (25%); 19 (13%); 20 (7%); 21 (4%) and 16 or 22 (1%).

Back to who is on the NEW list. All of the old ones (see list above) plus a couple of new ones minus the old ones being replaced.

Crews have been posted on Joe West's website.

My $$ was on Cousins, who got a WS and ALCS assignment the past 2 seasons. They are probably reluctant to give a new crew chief opening to somebody who is that much older and nearer retirement.

I'm a fan of Crew 12. Two of my favorite umpires paired together -- Mark Carlson and Ted Barrett.
