Love when something tied to my childhood pops up on my feed randomly. (Macon was the big city if you lived in Perry).

Strong recommendation (If you love aviation history like me)

If you ask me what my favorite movie is I can think of a lot of great movies. If you go by what movie I have watched the most times and can quote almost from start to finish it is Hunt for Red October. So it must be my favorite movie.

I cannot get my kids to understand how true this is.

I enjoy putting this together every year. Can you figure out big leaguers from old BA Prospect Reports? It starts easy and ramps up to quite difficult. www.baseballamerica.com/stories/can-...

It’s a lot less than many predicted at the time of posting but it’s in line w/ the player’s underlying data & how team’s evaluate corner guys w/ hit tool questions.

I really like the landing spot for Munetaka Murakami. He needed some runway to get his footing in MLB & White Sox need middle of the order upside. www.baseballamerica.com/stories/scou...

Oh and Brockmire is also on Netflix if you prefer your baseball TV shows being much more hard-bitten (and hillarious).

With everyone likely traveling in upcoming weeks, a recommendation. Hot Stove League is on Netflix. It's a K-Drama about trying to take a team from the basement of the KBO to the top. It's melodramatic at times, but also a pretty faithful baseball show. www.netflix.com/title/81343880

David Popkins' approach to hitting is all about finding solutions. If you identify what the true issue is and you take a little bit from everywhere, you’re able to help more people. Bringing this approach to the Blue Jays and the transformational results made him our MLB Coach of the Year.

Massive shout-out to @jjcoop36.bsky.social @geoffpontesba.bsky.social the @baseballamerica.com stuff for putting together an exhaustive Rule 5 preview list. Makes it easy for the rest of us to narrow down team-specific fits and provide deeper info. Some of the best $ I spend in this biz

The Brewers selected RHP Cole Phillips from the Mariners in the MiLB Rule 5 draft. Was the Braves second round pick in the 2022 draft. He has never pitched in a pro game because of injuries.

Hedbert Perez was once the Brewers' # 3 prospect (2021). Now he's a Blue Jays as a MiLB Rule 5 pick.

This had to wait until post Rule 5 as McCollum was Rule 5 eligible (and was a player we wrote up in our preview). Full report here: www.baseballamerica.com/stories/2025...

The speed at which this is being updated amazes me. www.baseballamerica.com/stories/2025...

I won't post every MiLB phase pick...we will have that at Baseball America. But I will post if on some names that stand out.

Full list of MLB Rule 5 picks here: www.baseballamerica.com/stories/2025...

Our final score was 10 of 13 MLB Rule 5 picks were players that we wrote-up in the preview. Of our 10 most likely to be picked, five were selected. We worked hard at it. We'll work harder next year.

Second round MLB Rule 5 Draft White Sox RHP Alexander Alberto (Rays) And that's the last pick of the MLB phase. The rapid-fire AAA Rule 5 is here.

Yankees select RHP Cade Winquest (Cardinals) Phillies select RHP Zach McCambley (Marlins) That's the end of the 1st round

Guardians select RHRP Peyton Pallette (White Sox) Red Sox pass Mariners pass Padres pass Dodgers pass Blue Jays select RHRP Spencer Miles (Giants)
