MLB News & Notes (other than Cubs or Sox)

What, his gynecologist doesn't think he can carry a child to term?

[funkster]

That is truly a shame. Hopefully Molina also receives disappointing news on his recent issues.

I hate him most of all.

I don't think this was covered in any recent daily recaps. I apologize if it was. But it can't hurt re-watching A. J. Pierzynski getting outmaneuvered but the agile Bartolo Colon:

Damn.

Oh, and I don't know if this one was ever posted.

Taking out a Sox fan trumps this one.

[nakedman1664]

Both were fantastic plays, that's for sure.

This one is fun to watch in slow-mo:

Sox - Orioles game in Baltimore postponed for fan safety concerns due to nearby riots.

 

Have done a considerable sum of work in Baltimore and typically stay at one of the hotels next to Camden Yards so this hits close to home for me as I walk through the area to the client site during early mornings and late evenings.

Crazy shit going on.  Just saw a vine of a guy who cut the firehose while the firemen were trying to put out a CVS on fire.  Wow.

My brother is an ER nurse at Johns Hopkins.

You guys are all better than me at the Internet. I'm having a hard time finding the answer to a question. I need the comparative numbers for all active players throughout MLB and the minor league system for how many signed contracts after being drafted out of high school and how many after being drafted out of college.

 

Anyone able to help with that?

If you go to page 9, you'll see a chart comparing HS and College drafted players.  The research was done in 2012 using data from 2002-2005 drafts (but only the first 10 rounds).  With the fact that it was only the first 10 rounds, it may not give the best interpretation.

Sox and Orioles postponed again tonight.

Thanks, Andy. I wouldn't have thought the current totals (this year/*all* drafted players) would be so hard to come by. Grr.
