Hats off to those Sox fans who follow what going on in the minors. To me that's a fan who is "all in".
How do you get your knowledge of what's going on?
Do you listen to games? Only look at the box scores? Do any of you live where they play?
Only if they had an idiot's guide to following your team's farm system.
I've been a fan since I was younger and following games just before college (got a signed Jeremy Reed baseball when I was younger). I personally know a few guys who are in other affiliates playing and one currently in our system.. well.. acquaintance (Dan Black) and others I've watch on TV. It hasn't been the same for me in the prospect discussing world for quite some time since I have more of a life now () but every now and then, I'll check out an up and comming prospect before the draft and still regularly follow our affiliate. Guys like Ozzie Ball, scenario, danman, Rex Hudler (when he was around), Cerb, Jason, dasox, daa84, palehosefan etc. are some of the guys I've (or seen here with others) discussed prospects with over the years. Guys like fathom, JPN, DBAH0 and Heads are great too. (though DBAH0 hasn't been the same since his boy Micah Schnurstein sucked and Heads with his Jack Egbert love affair. )
