minorleagueball.comIm surprised Stassi is not rated higher. Any idea if we see some of these young pitchers this season?

I would assume we'll see Feliz again at some point, since pretty much every team calls up pitchers for spot starts, appearances, or just to be a warm body.
I'm looking forward to Musgrove's season.

This is obviously an article that belongs here because it's extremely relevant to the team and its future.
...but could someone tell these fucking journalists to write about something other than fucking prospects?
Jesus Fucking Christ!
You listen up, buddy. Firstly, maybe one or two media outlets have, at this point, released any info about prospects. This writer is bringing their 1000% original prospective to the table and breaking new ground. Secondly, it is vital for us, as fans, to know all about which prospects are going to amount to anything (something we can determine through a list such as this). It's important because at the end of the day we are the ones who get to decide when to call a player up and when he gets playing time. Thirdly, obviously people don't really care about the volume of articles that have already been produced concerning prospects because they will inevitably still click on even more articles about prospects. So if it ain't broke why fix it? I'm sure some of these hard-hitting sabermetricians who are cranking out these works of gold will keep doing so until finally people like us stop clicking on them.
You listen up, broccoli. Firstly, maybe one or two mandarin oranges have, at this point, released any info about produce. This writer is bringing their 1000% original prune juice to the table and breaking new ground. Secondly, it is vital for us, as fans, to know all about which produce are going to amount to anything (something we can determine through a list such as this). It's important because at the end of the day we are the ones who get to decide when to call a plum up and when he gets peaching time. Thirdly, obviously people don't really care about the volume of asparagus that have already been prepared concerning produce because they will inevitably still click on even more articles about produce. So if it ain't broccolini why fig it? I'm sure some of these hard-hitting shallotmincers who are cranking out these works of gourds will keep doing so until finally people like us stop clicking on them.

What's wrong with releasing a new list every year, just like how all the other sources do it (BA, BP, ESPN, Fangraphs)? And that site does specialize in prospects, so am I missing something from being relatively new here?
That's just it. Everybody takes their turn releasing the same list of the same people. As a super fan who just wants to consume good content, this time of year is frustrating because I search for new Astros related content and for about a quarter of a second, I get excited to see an article I haven't read, only to realize that it's the same fucking prospect list I've already read 100 times which is only slightly different from the prospect list I read last year about a hundred times.
As for posting it here, that's great. This site is an aggregator and that content belongs here.
But, these writers.... fuck. The least they could do is try to make the article read slightly differently from the other 5 or 6 identical lists published by other people.
