Keith Law, who hates the Tigers, wrote this about Max Clark while covering the Futures Game: I still think he’s going to be a star once the power comes.

in the next 2 months, Trump will either suicide or pardon Ghislaine Maxwell. or both

this is apparently why he is panicking, Was asked to comment about a story that is dropping soon

yesterday, Trump told a long story about a conversation he had with his uncle about Ted Kaczynski, who his uncle taught at MIT, recalling they were so surprised that he turned out to be the Unabomber. Except, Kaczynski never went to MIT and his uncle died a decade before anyone knew who the Unabomber was. Dude's brain is mush - here's why that's bad news for Democrats.

not in Pipeline's Top 250 players, but went to MLB pre-draft workout camp obviously, he is Skubal 2.0

happy to be proven wrong; but seems to be that was an aberration, not the baseline

need swing and miss; don't see that as Montero or SGL's strengths

if healthy, this rotation is 6 deep and fine through the rest of the year: Skubal, Flaherty, Mize, Olson, Montero, SGL - they also have Melton who may join BP the relievers are not so good: Vest, Kahnle, Holton are only guys you would want in to see in a close playoff game. Hanifee and Lee might make playoff roster by default. need two guys who strike people out

when Rainer falls to you, you take him, but it looks like none of the big ticket guys they wanted fell to 24, so they pivoted and grabbed 2 guys they liked, which hopefully cascades into the financial flexibility to grab even more guys they like

Ben Jacobs LHP, Arizona State Scouting grades: Fastball: 50 | Slider: 55 | Changeup: 55 | Control: 45 | Overall: 45 Hailing from renowned California high school Huntington Beach, Jacobs began his college career close to home at UCLA. After getting just five innings on the mound as a freshman in 2023, he transferred to Arizona State and began his sophomore season pitching out of the Sun Devils bullpen, then eventually evolved into becoming their Friday night starter. He resumed that role in 2025 after a summer in which he made a few solid appearances in the Cape Cod League and for USA Baseball’s Collegiate National Team. When he’s clicking like he was at the end of 2024, Jacobs looks every bit like a prototypical college lefty with a starting pitcher’s repertoire and solid feel for what he’s doing on the mound. None of his individual offerings jump off the page, but he misses bats with all three of his pitches. It starts with a fastball that typically sits in the 92-94 mph range, touching 95-96 at times. It was not missing as many bats as it did in 2024, when it had decent life up in the zone to go along with solid deception. He has a traditional slider he throws in the 78-83 mph range and his low-80s changeup features good fade. Jacobs has struggled with his command at times during his college career, but he repeats his delivery well and is competitive in and around the zone, so there’s some confidence he’ll get to more consistent strikes as he advances. His ceiling might be a little limited because of the lack of a true out pitch, but he’s the kind of back-end starter who has the chance to land in the top three rounds.

should have lots of $$$ to grab fallers at 62 and 98

Pipeline had him 219; was was going to Yale; LH catcher; but HS catchers are notoriously hard to develop

Baltimore picks 2 of the 3 best college catchers - seems odd to me

Schrödinger's Epstein list - the list that does not exist was created by Obama

sellers holdout for best deal, so unless you are offering 1 of the big 5 now, sellers will wait to see if you blink

Elmo will also keep this story alive as long as it continues to amuse him

11.5 game lead at All Star break - great! but did DD build this BP? c'mon guys!

3, 4, and 7 runs should net you one win
