I agree with the Angels trio being the best, but am I crazy to think that Votto/Bruce/Phillips (or Choo)warrant some consideration?

I'd argue that nothing put more butts in the seats than winning than a guy who can run fast and do little else. I sure as #@$% wasn't ponying up to see Tony Campana hit the basepaths (and I realize he's not as fast as BH). I'm eager to see Hamilton as much as anybody, and I'm "buying" him as a prospect. But, he's gotta hit a little to have value.

The humor in grammar-nitting then randomly capitalizing antecedent isn't lost on me, fwiw.

Good article. Just FYI- your first sentence on Rendon is missing an Antecedent, it makes it look like you're talking about Profar's college career and injury history. Really enjoy this series, thanks again.

It still looks like the players in both tables cost more in LABR, where the wording indicates that the 2nd group cost less in LABR than CBS.

I like the new format and "jargon" just fine. I've come to like them better than the previous formats, and that's not a slight to those. I don't think 'average run' is something that should be considered over anybody's head. Especially when the primer is posted at the top of each. Keep up the good work, and please realize that there are myriad people out there that appreciate your hard work and the style you bring to it.

I had high expectations when we were told Jason was taking over this series. He, and the rest of the BPers that put in work on the prospect end, have exceeded those expectations. Well done.

If KG wrote about one guy every Monday, and suddenly switched up and wrote about 10, people would find a way to complain about that, too. "I pay for in-depth analysis, blah blah blah..." I enjoyed the article, thanks Sarge.

Good show. It would be awesome if you could have Law and Callis on more often. That was a great segment, IMO. I could listen to the three of you (and the Professor) talk prospects all day.

I have to constantly remind myself that I shouldn't root against Cowgill just because his name reminds me so much of Colin Cowherd.

I'm sure this has been asked (and answered) before, but do you record trot times for every home run? If so, is there a master list?

I'd agree with your assessment about the back-end players. I've managed to mess with the settings enough to make my values look about right, but my league has a different roster configuration- we only start 15 players per day.

Love all the new features, PFM is better than ever. One thing I do miss, though, is the feature that told you what your max bid was based on your roster size and players remaining. It's not that hard to figure out on my own, but it was a nice touch. The improvements more than balance this out for me, though.

I accidentally left the settings to MLB and it showed Pujols @ $50, which feels about right for my draft. However, when I changed it to NL-only, it bumps him down to $39, any idea why?
