Texas tattoo? Get the fuck out of here. I HATE YOU, JASON

I am too busy wondering what that man in the background is doing with his hand?

He's just doing what any of us do after we've been to the restroom.

Other than putting the scooper back by the litter box, of course.

Rodgers screams "Theo/Hoyer/McLeod draft pick" to me, but it's too early to start hoping they pick certain guys TIME TO START WISHCASTING TEENAGERS

I assume because he's a SS?

I hope they take the best college bat in the first again and then pitchers in the next 10 rounds. 

Wash, rinse, repeat, chammenchip.

I'll also support drafting Kyle Funkhouser, because that name is awesome and we could all use a little more funk in our lives.

The position and the bat.

Rodgers was a standout last summer with scouts saying he'd go in the top 50 picks as a high school junior, then he took a huge step forward this summer when his bat speed and raw power jumped at least a notch, if not two.  If you want to see him really let loose at the plate, check out this video, which I'm assuming is the And1 Mixtape Home Run Derby.  Rodgers is only a solid-average runner but makes the most of his foot speed with solid instincts and very rarely ever misplays a ball at short.  Some scouts aren't ready to anoint him the top prospect in the land yet because he doesn't "look like that type," which is basically code for an average running white shortstop isn't supposed to go 1/1.  An averaging running shortstop from Orlando went 5th overall last year with 50 at best raw power and the 2015 class is shallow up top, so Rodgers belongs somewhere close to #1 if he isn't the best player right now.

I also like Skye Bolt and Lucius Fox if they decide to go with some names in the later rounds.

My darling Harriet:

To think that I waited a year to consummate our loving relationship makes my heart beat so loudly I'm surprised it didn't wake you up.

The only reason I'm not here now darling is that I'm at work to make enough money to buy you a house, a picket fence, we'll have dogs and children.

When the 5 o'clock dinner bell rings I will be home like the winged Gossamer of love in your arms.

Your loving husband, Harry.

PS. Your cunt is in the sink.

Cubs haven't re-upped with Boise, Kane County or Daytona yet.

Local papers in Boise and Daytona don't seem very optimistic about the Cubs being there next season.

Also, the Dodgers may be leaving Albuquerque and get replaced by either the Rockies or Astros.  No need to worry, though. As long as SKO and I are around, the Albuquerque Isotopes-Iowa Cubs rivalry will continue.

Only one of these I care about is Daytona — that ballpark has great history and it's a really cool stop if you're traveling to watch Cubs affiliates.  Wonder what the holdup with KC is.

Problem with Daytona is the amount of rainouts/doubleheaders in the FSL the past few years.

Or every year.  It's Florida.

Or they could just leave the stupid FSL entirely.

Myrtle Beach, here we come.

Maybe on Olt's next rehab assignment, he can return to Myrtle Beach (.891 OPS over ~ 300 PAs in 2011) and visit some of his former flings.

Leaving Florida for SC to escape rain is like leaving North Dakota for Chicago to escape the winter.
