Climate change comes to the BBA!

Interesting stuff once again. I suspect the FI numbers for the BBA Today are through the roof!

Thanks, as usual, for doing this!

Putting Benavidez at 3B in place of Duran (who had a -9 ZR last season) has made a major difference. I have a feeling that’s a contributing factor to the improvement in our pitching numbers this season, too.

They’re all very cool - lots of talented people out there!

This is a cool idea - I’ve been thinking of going back and looking at how my draft classes have worked out since 2039. Doing the No. 1 picks seems like an efficient way to go, though.

Hankery Jones ... he may be making some appearances in the Chicago media soon!

Like him a lot. Was really close to taking him at #22, but couldn't pass up the potential of Meadows. Barkin was actually at the top of my list until I made my pick.

Excellent, as always! The Vegas blurb is priceless - JR’s Jr.’s jr. Heh. On my pick ... we need a shortstop sooner rather than later. My IC guy is probably 4 years away, assuming he develops as projected, which is a big assumption. Barkin is closer to a sure thing - and already has the fielding chop...
