Meeting #12 just ended…Hal Steinbrenner called it a night but sounds like things still rolling. Nothing yet on any new insights from last meeting. 

As of about 3 hours ago I was pretty sure it would be extended and wrapped tomorrow.

Assuming a deal gets done today, how quickly can we expect the Sox to sign Michael Conforto?

That was my first thought. It came to me a little differently though:

”So… what time on Wednesday do we sign Conforto?”

I'd be a fan of shift restrictions.

I think a decent compromise would be to allow shift changes in the 7th inning for at least this year. That way it speeds up the game while giving teams and players and off-season to see how it affects certain players performance.

The exxagerated shift basically ended Mark Teixeira's career. 
2003-2009 BABIP .308 
2010-2016 BABIP .246 

The hard contact % and spray charts were essentially unchanged. 

Of note for the Sox is that Grandal faced the 4th highest shift percentage (94.3%) of players with at least 200 PAs. Grandal had 16 left handed plate appearances without a shift so it's hard to know what the impact on him would be.
