A group of Chicago Cubs players met with Joe Torre on Wednesday afternoon to discuss important issues in baseball.

One topic that was discussed was the ever changing strike zone -- especially an expanding lower half.

"He gave me an option of talking to the whole team or choosing a smaller group and I chose the smaller group," Joe Maddon said. "Had the hitting coaches, the catchers and some other players."

Torre is Major League Baseball's executive vice-president of baseball operations.

They also discussed instant replay and other game-related issues but at least one player wanted Torre to look at video to assess the ball/strike calls.
