    Everybody hurts sometimes: The latest injuries

    Is Joe Jacques the human white flag or the last man standing? Or is it context-dependent? I've lost track.

    Turning the page: the 2024 draft contest!

    Back for another year, it's the draft contest! We'll stick to the basic structure: 1 point for each correctly-predicted draft pick or UDFA signed within 72 hours of the Mr. Irrelvant pick. $50 to the Jimmy Fund in the name of the contest winner. In the case of a tie, earlier (or earliest, if...

    Jrue Deal for Holiday

    I love this. Heck, I love Jrue (y'know, in a manly remote keyboard dude kind of way). And I wanted to add that I think banners have value. And then folks who know way more about this than I do chimed in... FWIW, I think banner 18 is the most valuable one of all. Until 19...

    SS possibilities going forward

    I'd like to see them go glove-first - I think that's where Story will be missed most.

    The TrevorEnding Story: needs shoulder surgery, out for the year (4/9 update)

    I think the Story angst has a few different sources. He's looked great so far. People here are rooting for him to leave the injuries behind. And, this team is paper thin, any injury anywhere is potentially devastating. Hope this is a brief detour, start of the season has been a blast, Story...

    2024 Greenville Drive (High-A)

    What's the deal with Mikey? Is he still injured from last year, or is this a new/different thing?

    Somewhere, Brian Cashman is Furiously Kicking His Own Ass: Weissert Edition

    His pitches are LOL funny. I'm sure there are ML hitters capable of squaring up a frisbee, but man, that gives even more credence to the idea that hitting a baseball squarely is one of the most difficult tasks on earth.

    AAAA Video Clips & Other Assorted Definitely MiLB Things

    Looks like a recognition that velocity alone isn't enough to get ML hitters. Interesting, especially when juxtaposed against Weissert's insane sweeper.

    2024 Prospect Rankings Thread

    Thanks, JM3 - much appreciated. I've been surprised at how Grissom''s excellence has been accepted as an article of faith here. Nice to see a more measured take.

    2024 Prospect Rankings Thread

    Thanks, JM3! Out of curiosity, where would you slot Vaughn Grissom on this list? I know we think of him as a ML 2B, but I believe he spent most of the past two years in the minors. T\On your list, would he be top 10, top 5? More or less valuable as a big leaguer than Abreu and C-Note?
