Random question for you all: if you could subscribe to either Baseball America or Baseball Prospectus, which would you subscribe to?

For me it's BA, without question. But I love the minors.

I'd pay for ESPN Insider before I'd pay for Prospectus.

[Guest]

I go with BA over BP but have always wondered about ESPN Insider.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

As implied above, Baseball Prospectus has become more or less entirely worthless. Too many "writers" not enough interesting analysts.

[Guest]

Is fangraphs pretty much a free version of what BP used to be?

[ctcf]

Christ, KJax. Got an especially early start today. He makes me irrationally mad at this point.

[Guest]

On the Major League side, yes. Except without the whole black box nonsense when it comes to metrics. Goldstein for all his charm does have stuff worth reading on the minor league side, although between twitter and ESPN Insider you can get most of what he has to say without subscribing to BP.

[ctcf]

Also, thanks for your opinions everyone. Much appreciated!

Jackson's fly outs are becoming more exciting to me than Vitters' singles.

Any time he puts the ball in play is like Starlin taking a BB.

Speaking of balls in play, a Rock Shoulders update: 39 PA, 13 balls in play(5 hits), 10 BB, 15 K. Maybe the oddest .755 OPS I've ever seen.

got damn

brettjackson No. 2 for the day.

[JockJones]

I want BJax to go a game without striking out, but I have no idea when that will happen again. It last happened 9 games ago.

Get the dudes eyes checked.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

BJ hat trick!

[JockJones]

BJax finished the game off with a 1B. Still a very fugly game, though.

[davell]

Baez not in the lineup for Peoria. Although I'm glad they're cautious at least.

[Guest]

@peoriachiefs: Not in the lineup today but Javy Baez IS a full participant in BP. Already took grounders at SS, now hitting opposite field shots.

[Guest]

Not good, especially considering his past elbow problems:

 

@BoiseHawksRadio: Update on RHP Amaury Paulino - doctor in Spokane says strained elbow, will rehab in Mesa for 6-8 weeks
