Absolutely wild that Gilbert Gomez is a major league coach now. Not because he doesn’t deserve it, he will be a manager in like five years, but because I covered him as a prospect (I do not like this)

I feel like I’ve missed a collective psychosis acting like Josh Naylor is a star instead of a bang average first baseman who had a good two months.

I wrote about a system so thin I started making Dr. Seuss jokes instead of trying to ordinally rank the 5th round sixth year college senior closer against the 4th round up and down bench outfielder in the teens www.baseballprospectus.com/prospects/ar...

Got back to my hotel. Group got on elevator same time. Man (probably mid 40’s) sees a drink on the floor of elevator. Says it looks “brand new. Ice isn’t even melted.”
Him and his girl both start drinking it. “It’s great. Rum and Coke!”
THE FLOOR DRINK!
THE DRINK FOUND ON THE FLOOR OF AN ELEVATOR!

I’m done with the fun systems for a bit, now writing things like “This is the most Rockies Day 2 college arm/Role 4 that won’t actually get there ever.” And folks I’ve seen a lot of them.

Every year I say I am gonna spend less time mucking around with the order of guys outside of the top ten and then I never do. Doesn’t help when you have a glut of good but samey prospects like the Brewers. www.baseballprospectus.com/prospects/ar...

Prospect writing is constantly reminding you of your own incessant aging but also I feel like I was just taking Matt Carasiti notes for the Yard Goats.
