| This picture makes me feel the way this mug makes Keith Law feel. |
As I have previously mentioned, I have a pretty firm policy of not really paying any attention at all to prospects until they are totally MLB ready and then are, I guess, not exactly prospects anymore, but instead, dudes. I do this because there are only so many hours in a day, and, I mean, where does it end? Where does it end? But I manage to make up for a lot of my ignorance by simply accepting everything Keith Law has to say about prospects. Well, about everything, really, but especially about prospects. Keith Law's chats at espn.com go too much into cooking and literature and board games for my liking (I actually really like all of those things, but that's not why I am at espn.com reading baseball chat transcripts, you know?) but on the whole I admire Keith Law's work immensely. He's a really good writer in a snarky internet kind of way, and I have enjoyed his work at every stage of his career, be it Baseball Prospectus, or the Blue Jays front office, or ESPN, or as the best guy they ever have on the Fan 590 in Toronto. He has also said some pretty cutting things about J. P. Ricciardi from time to time so he is squarely and firmly my dude.
Anyway, prospects. Here are the first twenty-five, with the rest after the jump. All of this has been lifted from the comment section at Drunk Jays Fans, naturally.
