Minor League Ball Changes

by John Sickels on Nov 20, 2025 2:16 PM EST

I've referred a few times to some changes coming to Minor League Ball. The whole thing hasn't been hashed out yet, but I think that everyone will be happy with the direction the blog will be taking in the next year. The first of these changes has been slowly implemented over the last few months: bringing in some additional voices, first with Seth Stohs and his expertise on the Twins system, Jordan Tuwiner with his expertise on the Orioles, and now Ray Guilfoyle with fantasy-oriented coverage. There will be more to come on this.

But some things will not change. I will still be here, posting daily. All the stuff I normally do will continue. The community-orientation of the blog will remain the same. I genuinely believe we have the best baseball community on the internet, with the most intelligent and insightful group of posters and readers. None of the things you like about the website will change, but I hope to incorporate even more features and upgrades, to take Minor League Ball to another level of excellence.

Great to hear John.

In my eyes, this is one of the strongest baseball communities on the internet. I’m sure it will only continue to flourish… best of luck.

You are talking about this blog's community right?

I genuinely believe we have the best baseball community on the internet, with the most intelligent and insightful group of posters and readers.

Just making sure.

Fans are typically idiots.

missed the suggestion thread with this

but I thought including the level the guy finished at in the top 20s would be helpful for us fans who don’t know the guys as well.

love the site otherwise, keep up the good work.

Coolio

I’m happy to see Ray over here, but am I alone in worrying about the future of faketeams.com if he’s here? More Ray is cool, very cool, but killed faketeams wouldn’t be :)

Fake Teams

isn’t going anywhere. I will still be writing for FT and hope to start some fantasy evening chats there in the near future. Its been something I have been thinking about for a few months.
I will be posting a few articles per week here along with the coverage at FT.
and…..I appreciate the kind words.

Just an idea...

Probably should have posted it in the other thread, but haven’t really sat down and browsed the site in a few days. Excited to see all the additions coming!

Would it be possible to have a quick list/link that has each team’s Top 20 list there. It’s not a huge deal, as I’ve just made a bookmark folder and am adding them as you release them….but just an idea so people can quickly jump to all the top 20 lists.

Or even expand it to where you can tag each blog post with a keyword/hashtag that would also show up on a team’s link, so if somebody wants to browse all the latest info/articles that concern a specific team, they could.

another idea

buy john’s book :)

This has nothing to do with the book...

John’s book has nothing to do with this suggestion. It’s simply an ease of use and organization idea.

Owning the book isn’t going to stop people from using the site, often looking to quickly access the lists or other posts concerning certain players/teams….especially since the lists are posted before the book ships, unless, of course, people who pre-order the book aren’t allowed to peak at the lists online! :-p
