HAWK TALKS BIG PICTURE

USA Today is reporting this week on a series of round-table discussions they are holding to look at ways to improve the game of baseball.  The impressively manned panel includes Brewers reliever LaTroy Hawkins.

Hawkins raised a question to to former umpire Steve Palermo as to whether umpires were influenced by the presence of the QuestTec electronic ball-strike system that used to be in some ballparks.  You would obviously only ask that question if you felt they were.

The series continues all week.  Rather interesting.
