Padres doing a webcast. https://www.mlb.com/padres/video/sd-cws-spring-training-webcast-91187 Moncada had a single to RF and Eloy drove a double to the LF gap. Eloy continues to look great. Let's hope he has a strong season and can be flipped for something worthwhile at the deadline.

Hartle/Santucci happening tonight.

Yowch. He was their top prospect-ish. Was he going to anchor a starting role on that team?

Dude obliterates baseballs.

Brecht pitching right now if anyone is looking for some day baseball. Sounds like Kiley is there.

In BA's top 10 bold predictions article today for the 2024 Baseball Season. https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories/10-bold-predictions-for-the-2024-mlb-milb-seasons/

RIP Oscar.

I would like Lalane and Arias please. From BA today.

20th.

Some other musings of mine after reading through Law's list. Surprised he called Condon a likely plus defender in a corner. I should probably pay attention to Trey Yesavage. Of the prep guys, Bonemer/Caldwell/Morlando ranked ahead of Griffin at 11, 12, and 14 respectively. Harold probably hates Caldwell. He's 5 foot 5. Law says it's going to take a GM or Scouting Director with job security to pick him.

Some excerpts from guys we talk about.

Top 10 for Law:

Here's a better photo of dude.

If we are throwing out names for comp picks/second rounders we like, I'm into these two so far. Strictly based on write-ups and one being an Iowa guy.

Some Keith Law takes today on Brecht and Braden Montgomery. https://theathletic.com/5316512/2024/03/05/mlb-draft-scouting-2024-braden-montgomery/

Bob noted that Boston is checking in on Montgomery now.

Woof. Poor guy.

This one streaming or on a webcast anywhere?

Robert is back in the lineup if we want to find something else to worry about.

It's just a completely uninteresting ball club. But that's not a surprise in a lost season. Maybe we get some Colson/Ramos/Nastrini at some point, but until then I'll just watch the minor league affiliates.

Crochet strikes out the side.
