Talking #stlcards since 2007. Podcasting at Meet Me at Musial and Gateway to Baseball Heaven. Writing mainly at Substack. I used to say I was a blogging, tweeting, Christian baseball man but time has tweaked the first two terms. Known to occasionally pun.
Baltimore #cardsix is now live. You know the drill! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

(It was easy to find the Star Wars quote to title the ep with!) We talked writing the book, world baseball, and humorous baseball writing as well! cms.megaphone.fm/channel/RRTE...

BA's top-ranked prospects traded (so far) ⬇️ 1 - Anthony Eyanson, RHP, Orioles (from Red Sox) 2 - Arjun Nimmala, SS, Angels (from Blue Jays) 3 - Zyhir Hope, OF, Tigers (from Dodgers) 4 - Kyson Witherspoon, RHP, Orioles (from Red Sox) 5 - Alexander Frias, OF, Cardinals (from Brewers)
I took the FanGraphs prospect grades and value ratings and put them in graphical form. Makes it easier to see which orgs have quality or quantity of prospects. Orioles vs Seattle is interesting, right in the middle. I'd rather have the fewer but better prospects in the Mariner system, fwiw.
Sky Kalkman@skykalkman.bsky.social · 3w agoThe Orioles farm system isn't even good. At FG, only five guys at 45+ or 50 grade. Ranked middle of the pack, but that's on the strength of a TON of 35+ and 40 grade guys. Maybe I've underrated that level, but meh.
It's late, but it's here. The Yankees #cardsix is now open! forms.gle/bgbdpfPHtank...
The Cardinal Six--New York Yankees (8/3-5)
The long road trip ends and a new configuration of the roster begins. Pitching probables: McGreevy vs. Schlitter, TBD vs. Weathers, TBD vs. Warren. Point values are equal to question numbers.

25 years from now, books and documentaries will be made about the Dodgers dynasty. People will talk about them like the Yankees’ dynasties and misremember that everyone was always rooting for them
I don't understand the idea that the Tigers' return for Skubal was light. It's the best return for a rental at the trade deadline since 2016. It's still an embarrassing trade in context -- 2 1/2 games out, third-best RD in the league -- but if you just isolate the return, it's a good package.
