What's the cutoff for a prospect? Swanson started 36 games, had 145 PA, and isn't a rookie this year. And he's a fucking Brave.

Entire article is fun read, but a gem at the bottom:

Last season was Wainwright's first full year since tearing his Achilles tendon in 2015. He struggled with the feel of what was once a devastating curveball. He went 13-9 after posting 39 wins over the previous two seasons.

This week, after watching his own instructional internet video on how to throw a curve, Wainwright realized his grip had shifted slightly. The old grip brought back the old hook.

Sometimes it's best to consult an expert.

That's a cool article, but 2016 was his first full season since tearing his Achilles in 2015? Today is my first day at work since leaving the office on Thursday.

The Pirates and Cardinals are planning to move their Aug. 20 game, originally set for PNC Park, to Williamsport, Pa., a source told DKPittsburghSports.com Monday morning.

Three very deep systems that lacks the same abundance of potential impact talent of the top tier. The Phillies system is the easiest of the three to get a handle on, perhaps because it is mostly the same names as last year. The names themselves have actually gotten a bit better, as they swapped “Jake Thompson” for “Sixto Sanchez.”
