The links make it.

Another great rundown.

Soto has been a nice late developer. Decent defense, too.

I agree. Most of my deep draft picks fill minor league holes with better prospects.

"hopefully improve upon last season's [insert stats here] performance once he gets going."

...should just be boilerplate for Baca previews.

The Yellow Springs organization might well have been sleep-walking through much of the off-season, but they we’re so comatose to miss the opportunity to pick up three semi-prospects from that the Halifax group left exposed to waivers. “We’re not sure what happened up there in Canada, but we were won...

Brooklyn is in pretty good shape, but is one of those teams stuck in the sub-$100M budget doldrums.

Outstanding.

Love the Luckiest Man in Baseball. That's a meme looking to go viral.

Seeing that we lost our entire starting rotation last season, we're not particularly sympathetic.

“Let’s face it,” said Caleb Deitmeier after a 5-4 loss to Des Moines in which the Nine ripped defeat so pristinely from the jaws of victory. “This ain’t what we was expecting.” He was down drinking a longneck at McKaddies Crab Shack. The post-game show was on in the background. “I don’t know what it...

Also, here is my obligatory April post/whining about how 2/3rds of the batters in my lineup have absurdly low BABIP's. If I ever manage to have a decent offense out of the gate you guys are in real trouble. Says the guy whose team started the season with 13 games at home and plays in a park that de...

I generally draft around organizational need, and will take a guy I know I can get playing time over other players who might grade out better... Especially with all these kids.

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, but at least the best was focused on #1. Eric Fabre , the Yellow Springs Nine’s first round pick, announced via social media today that he has agreed to the team’s offer of a $1.2M signing bonus. “To be honest,” he posted, “I was willing to go for...

Outstanding run-down. I'll have to look at Yellow Springs soon.

Is the Youngster Here For Good? http://montybrewster.net/MBBA/OOTPFiles/lgreports/news/html/images/person_pictures/player_30431.png Some fans could be forgiven a certain level of discomfort this past off-season. Angel De Castillo , the young short stop they had been reading about for the past sever...

“Ante Frank” Francisco Catazara (9/4/9 Talents) got bad news today as he was diagnosed with a torn triceps muscle in his arm. The 25-year-old, better known as the “ante” side of the big bet between Huntsville and YS9 had been working to get back to the big-league club after being among the last cuts...

Always good to be playing at filling in the cracks.

He was only 21/22 last year. Probably still growing even now. The difference between a low and a high score can be huge.

Klein is going to put up amazing numbers if you can keep him out of the lineup vs. RHP.
