That little tidbit about how everyone can read my feelings further on Jaden Woods a few weeks back, the guide has a 500+ word breakdown of why I think his arrow is pointing up this year!

Bailey Falter and Jared Jones will be your 1st 2 Pirates pitchers to start the spring. They will be tossing the pill to Hank!!

A big thanks to David Finoli for putting together the minor league guide. He approached me with the idea of having a prospect guide that also included the history of the Pirates building their team at different points in history. I tackled four of the seven short stories that are spread throughout the book, showing how they built their first pennant winner, talking about Roberto Clemente joining the Pirates, as well as a look at the 1974 draft 50 years later. He also allowed me to throw in any extra story I was saving from a little known part of baseball history when Pittsburgh was one of a handful of big league teams to attempt to have a minor league team in their own city. It's a fascinating look at the first attempt of an affiliated minor league team, with a very interesting back story.

Don't get me wrong, this book centers around the prospect rankings, but you get a lot more than just 50 player bios (plus the top 25 players outside of the top 50 also have small write-ups). The group of seven writers did an outstanding job, while David brought it all together.

Best of all -- it's actually out! You don't have to pay and then spend years wondering what happened.

I like having available on Kindle. No waiting, I'm digging into it.

Yeah, I didn’t realize it’d be on kindle. Maybe my wife will read it. Or not.

It's so nice to order knowing that it already exists and is not some vanity project that never actually comes to fruition. Thank you team for all your work and passion.
