Today at THT

Things to read while taking full advantage of the extra three days the Civil Rules give you for responding to a brief that was served by regular mail:

Victor Wang ranks the farm systems. Victor’s approach is different than many you’ll see in that he weighs multiple prospect lists first, and works from there. I’m not an expert, but it seems pretty comprehensive. Unfortunately for Astros fans, however, their team would finish last under every ranking system known to man.

Steve Treder tells the sad, fascinating story of Cass Michaels. This is one to save later in the day when you have a lot of time to enjoy it.

A couple of weeks ago, Jeff Sackmann looked at the quality of play of NCAA Division 2. Today he looks at Division 3. And save it — you could not have played second base for a Division 3 team either because you peaked at 15 just like the rest of us.

Finally, over at Fantasy Focus, Eriq Gardner asks whether it’s OK to platoon stars on your fantasy team. The biggest downside he sees: having to wake up early each day to check pitching matchups. I know exactly what he means. Waking up before 6AM each day to get onlne and look at baseball stuff is a total, total drag.

Ah, screw it. I’m just going to move for an extension. It’s the cornerstone of my legal practice.
