I've always been on team Benetti. Such a breath of fresh air after the atrocious Hawk. This just cemented it further.

C'mon man. Baseball is a game. Games are fun. Players should get excited. They should be allowed to show it. I want more of it.

So Baseball America extended the draft rankings to 400, and updated the board. Will post the top 15 only since it's premium. Number in parenthesis indicate the previous ranking. https://www.baseballamerica.com/rankings/2019-top-mlb-draft-prospects/ 1.) Adley Rustchman 2.) Andrew Vaughn 3.) Bobby Witt Jr. 4.) CJ Abrams 5.) Riley Greene 6.) Corbin Carroll (8) 7.) Nick Lodolo (11) 8.) Hunter Bishop (13) 9.) Bryson Stott (5) 10.) JJ Bleday (21) 11.) Matthew Allan (12) 12.) Josh Jung (9) 13.) Brennan Malone (16) 14.) Zack Thompson 15.) Jackson Rutledge (20)

I fucking hate Adam Engel. So much.

I think I still prefer Vaughn slightly to both high schoolers.

Yes. Yes, this will do.

I need a Clip/GIF of that bat toss please.

TA. So much swag. Love it.

Kiley chat day. Lotsa draft stuff picked out below. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/kiley-mcdaniel-chat-4-17-19/

Giolito going to pitch a gem today. I can feel it!

He's always had that.

Oh. The Dash face Brady Singer tonight.

Lambert now with 5 Ks through 5 IP. He might be the only bright spot in Birmingham right now.

I loathe our catching situation. Can we please have an Adley Rustchman fall into our laps?

Once Madrigal and Robert are in AA, that might not be the case anymore.

Timmy so good.

He's close to doubling his K rate from last year in the early going. 34.4%.

Watching Yo this year has been such a treat. An aside, if Leury keeps hitting like this, is he a trade deadline piece? He only has one more year of control left I believe?

I wonder how aggressive the Sox are going to be with Madrigal. Birmingham might pose less of a challenge to him then other prospects.

This is such a terrible nickname. I hope it dies a gruesome death.
