Minor League Ball Gameday: Saturday, April 26

Hello everyone. I would like to keep today's intro short and to the point, with only a single message I would like to convey.

If someone disagrees with your point of view on a prospect, major leaguer, or even independent leaguer, agree to disagree. Don't make it your personal mission to convert someone to believe your thoughts on that player. Don't insult someone for having a different opinion, no matter how off you may think they are. We're all adults here, so lets act like it.

Now, on to your slightly modified, regularly scheduled programming. Enjoy!
