Nothing but respect for my Odysseus

Among the shallower, bottom 5-10 systems in baseball, this is probably going to end up one of my favorites. www.baseballprospectus.com/prospects/ar...

This is correct

Probably fine I’m driving around with the windows down and no coat on December 20th.

I do appreciate all these prospect trades being between orgs we haven’t published lists yet for.

Still time to balance this out by signing Nabil Crismatt.

For the record I was thinking of the pininfarrina styled Fiat 124 not the 126 which I don’t think had a convertible version.

About the prettiest piece of art you can put in your driveway. (And maybe drive twice a year)

Dustin May in the Cardinals city series jersey is going to be a lot.

The Rangers have Sebastian Walcott and that’s cool. Past that it gets a little dicey. www.baseballprospectus.com/prospects/ar...

Mets fans have been out of pocket all week, but nothing wilder than people thinking Elian Peña is the same as Leo De Vries

Every time a Mets target has signed somewhere else this week we get more Patreon signups for the pod.

A brief catcher intermezzo (there may have been a list scheduling miscommunication) www.baseballprospectus.com/prospects/ar...

I still throw on some of those Takeover entrances on YouTube a few times a year.

I bequeath this tweet to @cdgoldstein.baseballprospectus.com, its all yours now

@bspan2.bsky.social takes lead on the White Sox while I chip in with some draftees and try to figure out what to do with Hagen Smith. It’s an interesting season but still not as deep as you’d have hoped by now. www.baseballprospectus.com/news/article...

“Craig, I’m at Water Witch.”

I just got annoyed I spelled Juneiker Caceres’s name two different ways on the Guards list, I dunno how Bob does it.

This might actually best tweeting the As are close to getting Kyler Murray to stay 20 minutes after he announced he was going to play football.

Cleveland is always a fun org to sift through, but they did have an awful lot of injuries to deal with last year. www.baseballprospectus.com/prospects/ar...

Buddy you are half filling the Barclay’s right now.

Mountain Goats show was very good per usual, but a little annoyed he played “You Were Cool” and “Color in Your Cheeks” the next night in Montana.

It’s very funny to me that we (and I mean we because they are the kid’s favorite band) ended up in the Top 100 for Charly Bliss listeners but I couldn’t sniff a spot for Khruangbin despite having almost three times the minutes.

A few times a cycle I just say “eh screw it, rank him there.” Kevin Defrank is once such ranking (and honestly I chickened out on having him a couple spots higher) www.baseballprospectus.com/prospects/ar...

The A’s have one of the best prospects in baseball, two lefties with top of the rotation upside and then www.baseballprospectus.com/prospects/ar...

I’ve been watching too much soccer because I was waiting for the OSU/Michigan ref to go down dramatically clutching his face.

Scored the Longineau Parsons RSD re-release and Akira Ishikawa’s Uganda for under 30 bucks each. Successful Black Friday.

View rarely sucks

Current mood with Wednesday: Yeah fine, Mike Ashley, fine. Maybe he can buy an attacking midfielder and winger.

The Diamondbacks have a lot of future major leaguers here, but lack “third best hitter on a playoff team” or “game 2 starter.” It’s deep enough something might work out there though. www.baseballprospectus.com/prospects/ar...

Big ups to me for not posting the pod this afternoon.

One of the things I didn’t expect when moving to Utah was having to have an opinion on a dude named Byrd Ficklin.

I got cranky about the Mariners on Five and Dive, but this is a good system, and their ability to conjure up Ryan Sloans is quite useful. www.baseballprospectus.com/prospects/ar...

Absolutely wild that Gilbert Gomez is a major league coach now. Not because he doesn’t deserve it, he will be a manager in like five years, but because I covered him as a prospect (I do not like this)

Some shallow systems are fun to dig around in. The Padres are not one of those systems. www.baseballprospectus.com/prospects/ar...

Kilby lineup isn’t as deep this year but I’m guessing it’s my best shot to see Lucy Dacus and Last Dinner Party for a bit so off we go.

If I could only have one completely impractical daily driver, it would probably be this.

I feel like I’ve missed a collective psychosis acting like Josh Naylor is a star instead of a bang average first baseman who had a good two months.

Threw on Bruins/Hurricanes and the pregame had a shot of them in the Whalers unis and I’m just gonna be mad the rest of the night now.

Honestly don’t love how often I’m writing MLB ETAs of 2030 now.

“That’s right I’ve got three top-15 prospects. Please don’t ask me anything else about my system.” www.baseballprospectus.com/prospects/ar...

No idea how a child from a long line of neurodivergent extreme introverts is such a social gadfly that she ends up with goodie bags from birthday parties for kids she doesn’t even know.

Roll bar for your safety.

POV: Your eardrums are about to have a very fun and very rough Friday night.

It would be weird to say my favorite album of the year is a re-recording of a decade old LP, but boy the new/old Khruangbin is great.

The Rockies keep drafting the same college pitchers and college outfielders. Is it working? Well, they are the Rockies. www.baseballprospectus.com/prospects/ar...

Jordan Clarkson has taken only five shots in eleven minutes, what a world.

I wrote about a system so thin I started making Dr. Seuss jokes instead of trying to ordinally rank the 5th round sixth year college senior closer against the 4th round up and down bench outfielder in the teens www.baseballprospectus.com/prospects/ar...

I probably should have watched more hockey over the last 30 years but I guess I had to be emotionally ready.
