A few weeks ago the Giants beat the Dodgers 29-2… in the Arizona Complex League. I wrote about what the hell happened and why it’s a symptom of something much bigger going wrong in the low-level minor leagues. “It’s a total s*** show.” @YahooSports sports.yahoo.com/mlb/article…

Terrific news! All of the prospect coverage we enjoy today pretty much grew from Allan founding @BaseballAmerica in his garage 45 years ago. I've never met anyone who loves every aspect of baseball as much as Allan, and I owe my career to him. Very happy for him!

This is pretty incredible: MLB is offering a FREE subscription to MLB.tv for all college students through Feb. 28. Covers the rest of the 2022 regular season, Dominican Winter League and start of spring training. And it doesn't autorenew: mlb.com/live-stream-games/st…

Great access here to professional pitchers returning from Tommy John surgery. I track certain TJ rehab milestones as well from media reports. The start to throw timeline matches this study, and my off the mound timeline is slightly longer:
How do ATHLETES feel about returning after UCL/#TommyJohn surgery? In this study, 530 @MLB & @MiLB pitchers summarize their rehab, setbacks, & changes needed for successful return ➡️ pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3295… #SaveTheElbows💪 @mayoclinicsport @JSESMedia @MayoClinic @MayoOrthoRes

Scott Kazmir draws start against Arizona, might be pitching for playoff roster spot; his opposing number might be familiar to you, between them they have 7 All-Star appearances. Plus: injury updates includes very latest on Jake McGee sfchronicle.com/sports/giant… via @sfchronicle

It's maybe that time of year where teams over-promote prospects to make opposing models artificially horny.

David Ross says he's recovering from the flu and feeling much better after going to a Scottsdale hospital on Sunday for IV fluids: “I’ve been taking a little ribbing from the boys. They’ve been texting me, checking on me and sending me Lou Brown in the hospital bed GIFs.”
