Monday Morning Update

Just a few idle thoughts to get the week going strong. The past few days have been more about research (tons of data input) than writing, but expect plenty of good stuff (college team profiles, finally!) coming your way in the coming days. For now, enjoy some amateur observations made while slaving away on some [...]

Mailbag!

One of the most appealing aspects of doing the blog thing is the ability to actually interact with people who care about college/high school ball and the draft. I like the diverging opinions people seem to have about the placement of players on some of the lists posted thus far. The comments have been of [...]

MLB Draft Combine

Random tangent to buy me a little more time until new content is polished up and ready to see the light of day – wouldn’t it be cool if there was a combine for baseball? As it currently stands the timing wouldn’t really work out with the way the draft and the college baseball season [...]

2009 MLB Draft: College Big Board Report Cards

Things have been quiet around here lately, but for good reason…it’s report card season! Yes, I do have a day job that may keep me updating from time to time, and, yes, filling out report card after report card takes priority over draft coverage – sad, but true. However, with all that grading in the [...]

Quick Schedule Update

Since I’m still wrapping up the the top five draft-eligible righthanded college starting pitching prospect writeups (I love doing 15-10, like doing 10-6, but something about 5-1 really gives me trouble), I figure I’ll at least give an update on what’s in store over the next few days. Sound good? Wednesday evening: Top 5 college [...]

2009 MLB Draft: Top 15 College Righthanded Pitchers (10-6)

And we’re back. We started the countdown of the top 15 draft-eligible righthanded college pitchers yesterday with 15 through 11. One thing I forgot to mention when players 15-11 were unveiled yesterday was that the list is restricted only to righthanded college starting pitching prospects – it’s a no reliever zone here. The bullpen guys will [...]

Site Redesign

Astute readers will notice, hey, things look a little different around here. Good, bad, ugly? Let me know either via email, comment, or telepathy. Since I don’t really have a clue when it comes to site design, there is literally no way my feelings can be hurt by any kind of constructive criticism. So if [...]
