Hello, all. Usually Craig does the heavy lifting on promotion, but today I felt like I should take a turn. We have a lot of great stuff up on the site today, and I wanted to take a minute to share it all.

We’re about a quarter of the way through our team preview series, which takes each organization and breaks them down positionally to root out their strengths, weaknesses, and potential. Today @timjacksonsays.bsky.social applies the format to a promising Diamondbacks club.
We’ve got an excellent deep dive written by @mariodelgadogenzor.bsky.social, digging into the re-re-invention of Gerrit Cole, and the adjustments he’s made after a brilliant 2023 campaign and in advance of the aging curve facing him and all of us.
None of the authors have “beats,” specifically – we want our writers to go where inspiration leads them – but no one finds and summarizes leaguewide trends the way @robmains.bsky.social does. Today he uses the rise of modern relievers to look at what we’ve lost: a number of great comebacks.
Probably the biggest news of the spring so far has been the Bregman/Devers drama in Boston. I had some feelings on the subject, but @stevengoldman.bsky.social gets to its essence better than I would have, with his usual sterling prose and limitless store of historical context.
I want to read YOUR take! Come on in! There's plenty of room in the, uh... staff Olympic pool of the Mind? We have one of those in the basement, right? Just below the Danger Room?
Our fantasy team has been hard at work all spring, moving across the diamond in its weekly positional series. This week covers relievers, and while that’s a rough pull, it also provides an illustration of how deep their expertise goes.
The prospect team led by @jeffreypaternostro.bsky.social is getting a breather before the minors start up in April, having completed all 30 prospect lists over the past few months. You can find them all on the site, and if you haven’t, you can catch our organizational rankings, which ran last week:
