I was hoping for a “Ginger Betances” reference in the Ridings write-up…

2022-02-12 05:01:49 +0000 UTCIncredible job as always, Mike. Thanks for keeping us informed. Also, I’m irrationally excited at the number of switch (and lefty) hitters. One or two would go a long way to fixing the lineup balance issues.

2022-02-12 00:44:48 +0000 UTCInteresting. I checked my bookmarks, and sure enough TBC was there, but I can't remember the last time I accessed it. My bookmarks, like numbers in my phone, keep getting ported over, so wouldn't surprise me if it had been more than a decade. The site owners still seems to be updating the numbers, but not the design. I almost wonder if it's running on autopilot.

2022-02-11 22:36:39 +0000 UTCI'm planning to do something on prospects who fell off last year's list. Sikkema hasn't pitched in two years. That's really all there is to it.

2022-02-11 20:34:45 +0000 UTCNo TJ Sinkema? Sonny gray trade so bad

2022-02-11 20:25:35 +0000 UTCEasily one of my favorite posts every year. I don't know how many others it would interest, but I wouldn't mind periodic 'where are they now' catch-ups on once heralded prospects that kind of fell off. I'm thinking of dudes that had some hype and had a couple down years like Osiel Rodriguez.

2022-02-11 19:14:49 +0000 UTCI can feel it already. Wesneski and Waldichuk are going to be my new Luis's--Gil and Medina. By that, I mean Yankee prospects that will make me pause when I hear their names, and I'll think, which one is which??? I'm going to contain my enthusiasm on Volpe until I see him perform above the A-ball levels. Supposedly AA is where the men are separated from the boys. I don't doubt the skill, but I've seen many a prospect a flop making that jump. As for The Martian, I think he's going to have a breakout 2022. Too much talent, and he's got a year (finally) under his belt in pro ball. Florial is going to have a good year in AAA.

2022-02-11 16:07:56 +0000 UTCThe Cube was great back in the day because it had college stats and a draft database. B-Ref added that stuff a few years ago though, so there's no reason to go to the Cube anymore.

2022-02-11 15:46:39 +0000 UTCOh dammit. Fixing. Thanks.

2022-02-11 15:45:39 +0000 UTCGreat Job. I love this list
Michael Mazzullo
2022-02-11 15:21:56 +0000 UTCGreat stuff as always Mike! I laughed that #27 Elijah Dunham's DOB (on the prospect image) is listed as May 29th, 1981! Haha... he'd be a Roy Hobbs prospect.

2022-02-11 15:21:08 +0000 UTCMike, you linked to a website called thebaseballcube.com in your first top 30 and to my surprise it is still active! It looks straight out of 2003. Wonder how that guy feels about baseball reference...
