Upcoming Schedule

by John Sickels on Apr 18, 2025 11:45 AM EDT

My 5-year-old son is in the hospital with pneumonia, so I am rather distracted right now. He should come home this afternoon, but until things are back to normal, my posting place may be slow.

I hope to keep Prospect of the Day and Minor League Notes going. I also have Post-Hype for Chris Tillman and Matt Harrison on the agenda, plus a look at junior college prospects for the draft. Career Profiles I want to do include Andruw Jones and both Alex Gonzalezes.

Thanks for your patience as I deal with my family issues.

Frank Costanza: `What the hell did you trade Jay Buhner for?! `He had 30 home runs and over 100 RBIs last year. He`s got a rocket for an arm. You don`t know what the hell you`re doing!.......... George `Big Stein` Steinbrenner: `Well, Buhner was a good prospect, no question about it. `But my baseball people loved Ken Phelps` bat. They kept saying `Ken Phelps! Ken Phelps!` `

Best of luck with your son

This is the time of year that everyone seems to get it, when the weather can’t stay the same day to day

Good luck with your son

I’ve been overwhelmed and I’ve been underwhelmed. Can I ever just be whelmed?

hope he's feeling better soon.

Don't post at all, unless you need some place to vent.

You have no obligation to keep us entertained. Go take care of your kid.

Actually, it IS my obligation to keep you entertained…it’s my job! That said, I have the job to support the family.

He’s feeling much better today but now Jeri, Nicholas, and myself are all sick.

As a dad ...

Good luck and look after him. Lots of illness ripping through my household now too.

When you feel up to it, though, I’d like you to write about Travis Wood. Sort of under the radar, but loads of minor league, and now major league, success. :)
