If you’re ready to analyze performance and results, so am I. The first 10 games of Spring Training are a really bad barometer for that, and moreso an exercise in futility. So, until we can really dig into the fun stuff, I figured it would be a good time to share some thoughts on how […]

In something of an upset, considering where the voting was on the 14th vote, Cooper Hjerpe surprised me at least by narrowly winning the vote for the 15th best prospect. Hjerpe was in a distant 4th place for the 14th prospect which, if you’re wondering, was partially possible because either different people voted or people […]
