Is this the best April Fool's Day prank since Sidd Finch wandered onto the pages of Sports Illustrated, lo so many years ago? It's tempting to think Alan Schwarz and his friends at the NYT Science desk are toying with us. But probably not.

Not a prank, folks. But a major league assistant GM called me thinking it could be, too, so you're in good company ....
