From the Collection: Zac Gallen, sp, Arizona Diamondbacks
SP Zac Gallen went 4-10 this season with the Diamondbacks. That might not look great, but his numbers were actually not that bad.

New Arrival: Gerald Laird, c, Oakland Athletics
Catcher Gerald Laird spent 13 seasons in the major leagues (2003-2015) with almost a half dozen teams. He was never really a full time starter, and only got into 120 or more games twice in his career. He retired following the 2015 season with a career line of .243/.305/.353 and[…]
New Arrival: Alay Lago, 2B, Cleburne Railroaders
Infielder Alay Alago is a really interesting player. Since 2018 Alay Alago has been playing Indy ball in the American Association, and has been one of the best hitters in the league. In 2019 he won the American Association batting crown while playing for the Sioux Fall Canaries, hitting .339/.386/.531[…]
New Arrival: Jose Tena, ss, Cleveland Guardians
Jose Tena is one Cleveland’s biggest prospects coming into the 2022 season. He opened the season as the Guardians #20 overall prospect Tena spent the season in High-A, and as one of the youngest players in the league hit .281/.331/.467 with 16 HR. Then, in the Arizona Fall League, he[…]
From the Collection: Nick Allen, ss, Oakland Athletics
Nick Allen was drafted in the 3rd round of the 2017 draft out of Francis Parker HS in San Diego. He has become one of the better prospects in the system, and opened the 2021 season as Oakland’s #6 prospect. I am thinking he will be in the top[…]
New Arrival: Mark Canha, of, Oakland Athletics
Mark Canhan had a very nice 2021 campaign, hitting .231/.358/.387 with 17 HR, good for an 111 OPS+. He has been a steady source of offensive for Oakland since making the major leagues in 2015, and its going to be weird not seeing him in the outfield for the A’s[…]
New Arrival: Micah Pries, if/of, Cleveland Guardians
Micah Pries was drafted out of Point Loma Nazarene University, a D3 school, by Cleveland in the 19th round of the 2019 draft. 2021 was his first professional campaign, and he was just fantastic
From the Collection: Harold Ramírez, of, Cleveland Indians
In February 2021 the Indians selected outfielder Harold Ramirez off waivers from the Marlins. It was not a huge move at the time, but in retrospect it was a pretty fantastic decision. Ramirez has has a good season, hitting .263/.304/.405 with 6 HR, good for a 90 OPS+. Those are[…]
From the Collection: Triston McKenzie, sp, Cleveland Indians
Triston McKenzie has been one of the Indians Top Prospects since 2016, often sitting in one of the top three spots. While injuries slowed his ascent to the majors, McKenzie finally made the big leagues in 2020 and, since then, has flashed the talent that made him one of the[…]
From the Collection: Scott Baker, sp, Minnesota Twins
Scott Baker was the Twins 2nd round pick of the 2003 draft. He made the majors in 2005 and would spend 10-seasons in the big leagues. He was never an ace, but he was a very solid starting pitcher for Twins, especially from 2008-2010 when he averaged 181 IP and[…]
