Outside
of seeing Clare, we haven’t much enjoyed our trips to Indiana—pitch-black
highways at night, a gangster who charged us $120 to not tow our car, near-endless cold and snow. At least Saturday’s cold had a silver
lining. I stepped into a Target to warm
up and walked out with the first baseball magazine I’ve bought in years.
I
admit, part of the reason I bought Lindy’s Sports 2015 Preview is they pick the
White Sox to win the AL Central. But,
really, the format’s a joy to behold:
Scout’s Take (“A lot of us were wrong about [Jose] Abreu. He’s got more than a slider-speed bat.”); Key
Arrivals and Departures (Matt Lindstrom, good riddance); Projected Batting
Order and Rotation; Top Organizational Prospects (including hot-yoga devotee
Micah Johnson); and Organization/Management Direction, with the arrow pointing
up for the Sox. All that plus a Phenoms
list of baseball’s top fifty prospects, a rating of the best players by
position, some interesting articles w/o too much sabermetrics and the Cubs
picked for fourth!
It’s
enough to make a person feel young again.
