As much of what I do in baseball months involves baseball, when the winter months arrive, I have more time for other things. Or, other assessments of baseball, particularly the Cubs pipeline. Some might want me to have a different stress in my writing, or send pointed barbs toward one figure or another, but usually, I prefer to write positively about prospects. Or listen to music (I happily switch from operatic to symphonic to jazz or garage, and my tastes could be any on a certain hour of a certain day). I assess things, but in a different way from the very valued writers and researchers that create “stock screening profiles” for prospects.
